一出世即被镜头和公众眼光呵护成长的英国乔治小王子上星期六（7月22日）庆祝4岁生日。他同样备受媒体聚光灯爱戴的妈咪——英国剑桥公爵夫人凯特·米德尔顿（Kate Middleton）曾公开她的育儿心得，分享她如何带大这个人见人爱的孩子。
People often ask me why I am so interested in the mental health of children and young people. The answer is quite simple - it is because I think that every child should have the best possible start in life.
很多人问我为什么对小孩和青少年的心理健康这么感兴趣。答案很简单：我坚信每个孩子的人生都应该拥有最好的起跑点。
My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children, George and Charlotte just how important these things are as they g up. In my view it is just as important as excelling at maths or sport.
我的父母自小便灌输我仁爱、尊重及诚信，这些重要的品德成了我终身的核心价值观。这也是为什么我和威廉也要在我们的儿女乔治与夏洛特成长的时候，教导他们这些品德是多么重要。我认为深植这些价值观，跟要他们在数学和体育方面出类拔萃同样重要。
Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love, and worry, all mixed together. Your fundamental identity changes overnight. You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual, to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost.
不管你事前做了多少功课，都无法为人母这无与伦比的体验和职责做足准备。妈妈的喜悦中有疲惫，爱里有忧虑，五味杂陈。从你做妈妈的那天起，你最根本的自我认同便在一夜间改变。你突然不再以自我为中心，而以身为人母为首要考量。
It is lonely at times and you do feel quite isolated. But actually so many other mothers are going through what you are going through, but it's being brave enough to actually reach out.
身为人母有时会很孤独，也的确会有种被孤立的感觉。但事实上，你并非一个人，世上很多的妈妈都有着跟你同样的经历和心情。在感到孤绝的时候，最重要的是要勇于走出来请人援助。
Personally, becoming a mother, has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, at times it has also been a huge challenge. Even for me, who has support at home that most mothers do not.
我个人作为母亲的体验是很美好及充满成就感的。即使像我有着家人的扶持，有时都会觉得这份挑战过于巨大和沉重，更何况是那些缺乏援助的妈妈们？
