原标题:凯特王妃威斯利皇家园艺学院致辞,王室英音,高雅诱人!
9月10日,凯特王妃在萨里郡的威斯利皇家园艺学院(RHS Wisley Garden)露脸“回归自然”(Back to Nature)乐土开幕典礼。
这是凯特王妃本年兴办的第三个“回归自然”花园。
凯特与别人一起创立的花园曾在切尔西花展和汉普顿宫花园节上展出,旨在着重野外时刻怎么丰厚孩子的前期发育。
37岁的凯特王妃身穿白色印花连衣裙,宽腰带凸显好身材,十分具有田园风格。
剑桥公爵夫人妆容精美,标志性笑脸十分亲和,她为花园的开幕式宣布说话,一起与宝妈和孩子们亲热互动。
在开幕式上,凯特王妃用高雅纯粹的英音致辞。
在讲演中,她坦称:“我不像在座的许多人那么精于园艺,但我热衷于发明一个花园,让孩子和成年人都能回到大自然中,并从中取得有利身心健康的好处。”
“咱们早年取得的经历影响着咱们成为什么样的人。它们影响着咱们在校园、工作和社会中的互动,终究影响着咱们怎么抚育自己的孩子。”
谈到自己作为三个孩子——乔治王子、夏洛特公主和路易王子——母亲的经历时,她弥补道:
“作为一名母亲,我理解了在孩子一出世时就培育他们在各个方面的开展是多么重要,而不仅仅是身体上的。”
“咱们为他们未来的成功和美好打下根底。”
Thank you, Mary.
And thank you to everyone for coming here today. The ‘Back to Nature’ Festival is a fitting finale to a project I have been thrilled to be part of.
As many of you know, I was invited by the RHS to co-design a garden for families and children for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. It’s been the most amazing experience and I can’t thank the RHS enough for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
I’m delighted that many of those features that first appeared in those gardens, have found a permanent home here at Wisley in the new children’s play garden. I hope it will enable thousands of children to discover and explore the natural world around them.
I am not as green-fingered as many of you here, but I was passionate about creating a garden that inspired children and adults alike to get back to nature and reap the positive mental and physical health benefits that it can bring.
The gardens were, I suppose, a manifestation of some of the work I have been focusing on around how best we can support our children in the earliest years.
The physical benefits of being outdoors and in nature are well documented. More recently, however, I have learnt that these often safe and supportive environments can also bring significant benefits to the cognitive, social and emotional development of our children too. The experiences we gain during our earliest years influence who we become as people. They influence how we interact in school, in work and in society and, ultimately, how we bring up our own children.
Whether it is planting, exploring, digging, creating, or playing; quality time spent outside provides children with the perfect environment to form those positive relationships with the people in their lives and the world around them.
As a parent, I have learnt just how important it is to foster our child’s [children’s] development, in all areas, not just physical, as soon as they are born. We build the blocks, the foundations, for future success and happiness later in their lives.
These relationships, however, stretch far beyond the crucial one that a parent or carer has with its child.
Like in the animal kingdom, whether a pod, a pack, or a pride, the interactions we have with the broader community – be it with our grandparent, our teachers, our neighbours – play a crucial role in the growth and learning of our young.
There is a well-known proverb – that it takes a village to raise a child – everyone here represents an integral part of that very village.
By coming together, having fun, learning and experiencing new things, we can all impart life-long benefits on our children.
That is why I wanted to invite you here today – many of whom I have met in my pursuit to learn more about the early years – to celebrate the work that you are doing, thank you personally and to continue working with you to inspire even more people to follow your lead.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
