As a researcher with the Harvard Preschool Project I helped to keep a detailed record of the early experiences of children who eventually exhibited optimal development and achieved outstanding success in their later years. When these children were babies, what activity do you think occupied the largest part of their waking hours?
作为哈佛大学早期教育项目的研究员，我负责研究那些发育优异，并在以后的人生中有着非常成功表现的人在幼年时的具体细节记录。当这些人还是小宝宝时，你觉得在他们不睡觉时都主要做什么呢？
You might be surprised to learn that it was what we referred to as “steady staring.” They spent a lot of time just absorbing the world around them with their eyes. Even after they started crawling and could widen their world with active exploration and investigation, they still would take substantial pauses to engage in intense visual absorption of anything and everything they encountered.
你可能会有点惊讶我们称其为“凝视”。宝宝们会花很多时间凝视他们周围的世界。即使在他们能够爬行，可以用行动来探索更广阔的世界后，宝宝们还是会不时地停下来全心注视他们所遇到的所有事情和任何东西。
It is important for parents to recognize that the many seemingly mundane things we take for granted are new, interesting, exciting, and extremely educational for an infant who is being exposed to it for the first time. And the infant needs more than a few moments to fully examine and appreciate it.
父母们一定要明白，那些被我们视为最没有意义的平凡事物，对宝宝来说都是第一次遇到的让他们兴奋、新奇、并绝对需要学习的新知识。宝宝们需要更多的时间去认识感受它们。
So whether you are at home or at Romp n’ Roll and you start to feel a little frustrated because your baby is just sitting motionless for a while, remember that she is more than likely engaged in steady staring and her mind is racing at full speed.
所以，无论你是在家里还是在悦宝园，如果你因为宝宝似乎是在那里呆坐而觉得有点儿泄气，请记住，他们是在积极的全神贯注，他们的头脑在全速运转！
