Is your child convinced there is a ghost haunting his closet or a monster lurking under his bed? If so, you should know that this is quite common, and you should also know there is a simple and usually quite effective way to diffuse the situation.
你的宝宝有没有觉得衣橱里有鬼或者床底下潜伏着怪物?其实这是很正常的现象,但你需要知道一个简单又挺有效的办法来化解孩子的恐惧。
When I was about three years old my family moved into a new house. My bedroom had a door connected to the attic, and I was sure there was a ghost in there. Instead of telling me there is no such thing as ghosts (which would have been futile) or dismissing me as being silly (which would have made things worse), my mother did something that I later realized was brilliant. She simply said, “Yes, that is Georgie the Ghost.”
我大概3岁的时候随家人搬到了新家。我的卧室里有扇门连着阁楼,我当时很肯定那里面有鬼!我妈妈并没有告诉我那里面没有鬼(这通常没有效果),也没有鄙视我的愚蠢(这会使情况更糟),她的反应我后来认为真是明智极了。她只是说:“对,那是乔治”。
Once the ghost had a name like Georgie it was impossible to view him as threatening. In fact, my sister and I decided he must be a friendly ghost, and for the next couple of years we would occasionally leave some dolls and toys inside the attic door so Georgie wouldn’t be lonely or bored.
鬼一旦有了名字,似乎就不会伤人了。实际上我和妹妹认定他是个友好的鬼,后来的几年里,我们俩会把一些娃娃和玩具留在阁楼里,这样乔治就不会孤单和无聊了。、
I can’t guarantee that naming the ghost or monster will work every time, but it certainly is worth a try. Just make sure you use a “friendly” name like Georgie and avoid “frightening” names like Godzilla.
我不能保证给鬼起个名字是个屡试不爽的主意,但它确实值得一试。但请一定用友好的名字比如乔治,可别用哥斯拉这种骇人的名字。
