Diary of a 2 yearold
一個兩歲孩子的日記
Today I woke up and wanted to get dressed by myself but was told “No, we don’t have time, let me do it.” 今天醒來後我想要自己穿衣服， 但大人告訴我：“不， 沒有時間了， 讓我來給你穿吧。 ”
This made me sad. I wanted to feed myself for breakfast but was told “No, you’re too messy, let me do it for you.” This made me feel frustrated. 這讓我很傷心。 我想自己吃早餐， 但大人告訴我：“不， 你吃的到處都是， 讓我來喂你吧”， 這讓我感到很沮喪。
I wanted to walk to the car and get in on my own but was told, “No, we need to get going, we don’t have time. Let me do it.” This made me cry. 我想自己走到車那裡， 自己上車， 但大人告訴我， “不， 我們得快點走了， 沒有時間了。 讓我來做吧。 ”這讓我哭了。
I wanted to get out of the car on my own but was told “No, we don’t have time, let me do it.” This made me want to run away. 我想自己下車， 但大人告訴我“不， 沒有時間了， 讓我來做吧”， 這使我想逃跑。
Later I wanted to play with blocks but was told “no, not like that, like this…” I decided I didn’t want to play with blocks any more. I wanted to play with a doll that someone else had, so I took it, I was told “no, don’t do that, you have to share.” 之後我想玩積木， 但大人告訴我：“不， 不是那樣搭的， 要這樣搭……”我就決定不再玩積木了。 我想玩其他小朋友玩的玩具， 所以我就拿過來了， 大人告訴我：“不， 不要那樣做， 你要和別人分享。 ”
I’m not sure what I did, but it made me sad. So I cried. I wanted a hug but was told “no, you’re fine, go play”. 我都不知道自己做了什麼， 但這讓我很傷心。 所以我哭了。 我想要一個擁抱， 但大人告訴我：“不， 你很好， 去玩吧”。
I’m being told it’s time to pick up, I know this because someone keeps saying, “Go pick up your toys.” I am not sure what to do, I am waiting for someone to show me….”What are you doing, why are you just standing there, pick up your toys…Now.” I was not allowed to dress myself or move my own body to get to where I needed to go, but now I am being asked to pick things up.
大人告訴我是時候收拾東西了， 我知道， 因為大人總是在說：“去把你的玩具收拾好。
I’m not sure what to do. Is someone supposed to show me how to do this? Where do I start? Where do these things go? I am hearing a lot of words but I do not understand what is being asked of me. I am scared and do not move. I lay down on the floor and cry.
我不知道該怎麼辦。 有人可以教我該怎麼做嗎？我該從哪裡開始呢？這些東西該放到哪裡呢？我聽到了很多話， 但我卻不明白我被要求做什麼。 我很害怕， 也不敢亂動。 我只能躺在地板上哭泣。
When it was time to eat I wanted to get my own food but was told “no, you’re too little, let me do it.” This made me feel small. I tried to eat the food in front of me but I did not put it there and someone keeps saying “here, try this, eat this…” and putting things in my face. I didn’t want to eat anymore. This made me want to throw things and cry.
吃飯時間到了， 我想要自己拿食物， 但大人告訴我：“不， 你太小了， 讓我來給你拿吧”， 這讓我感覺自己很渺小。 我想吃面前的食物， 但我沒有把它放在那裡， 因為有人一直說：“這兒， 試試這個， 吃這個……”， 然後把食物塞給我。 我不想再吃了。 這讓我想丟東西， 想要哭。
I can’t get down from the table because no one will let me…because I’m too small and I can’t. They keep saying I have to take a bite. This makes me cry more. I’m hungry and frustrated and sad. I’m tired and I need someone to hold me. I do not feel safe or in control. This makes me scared. I cry even more.
我不能自己離開桌子， 因為沒有人讓我自己下來……因為我太小了， 我不能自己下來。 他們一直說要我吃一口。 這讓我哭得更厲害了。 我很餓、很沮喪， 也很傷心。 我累了， 需要有人抱抱我。 我缺乏安全感， 就要崩潰了。 這讓我害怕。 我哭得更厲害了。
I am 2. No one will let me dress myself, no one will let me move my own body where it needs to go, no one will let me attend to my own needs.
我已經2歲了。 沒有人會讓我自己穿衣服， 沒有人會讓我自己去我想去的地方， 沒有人會讓我自己照顧自己。
However, I am expected to know how to share, “listen”, or “wait a minute”. I am expected to know what to say and how to act or handle my emotions. I am expected to sit still or know that if I throw something it might break….But, I do NOT know these things.
不過， 大人希望我知道如何與別人分享， “聽著”或“等一下”。 大人希望我知道該如何說， 該如何做， 或如何處理我的情緒。 我應該安靜地坐著， 或者知道如果我扔了什麼東西，
I am not allowed to practice my skills of walking, pushing, pulling, zipping, buttoning, pouring, serving, climbing, running, throwing or doing things that I know I can do. Things that interest me and make me curious, these are the things I am NOT allowed to do.
大人不允許我練習走、推、拉、拉拉鍊、扣鈕扣、倒、服務別人、爬、跑、投擲或做那些我知道怎麼做的事情。 大人不允許我做那些我感興趣或好奇的事情。
I am 2. I am not terrible…I am frustrated. I am nervous, stressed out, overwhelmed, and confused. I need a hug.
我已經2歲了。 我已經不差勁了……我很沮喪， 很緊張， 很有壓力， 不知所措， 也很困惑。 我需要一個擁抱。
