从2007年起，爸爸就开始拍自己和女儿坐在沙发上的照片

Like a fine wine, some people only get better with age. Part of it has to do with genetics, but a large portion depends on your lifestyle. And a perfect example of looking better and better with time is Dr. Alec Couros, a professor of educational technology and media at the University of Regina in Canada.

就像好酒一样，有些人越老越好。这部分与基因有关，但很大一部分取决于你的生活方式。加拿大里吉纳大学(University of Regina)的教育技术和媒体教授亚历克·库罗斯(Alec Couros)博士就是一个完美的例子，说明随着时间的推移，你的形象会越来越美。

He took photos of himself and his daughter sitting on the couch together with laptops since 2007, and while his daughter has grown up, her transformation wasn’t the only one that was impressive. It would be no stretch of the imagination to say that Dr. Couros looks better as the years go by. Not only does it look like he doesn’t age, in fact, at 48 years old, he looks much younger, more energetic, more full of life, and more handsome than before.

从2007年起，他就开始用笔记本电脑拍下自己和女儿坐在沙发上的照片。说库洛斯博士的气色随着岁月的流逝而越来越好，这一点也不夸张。他不仅看起来没有变老，事实上，在48岁的时候，他看起来比以前更年轻，更有活力，更有生活气息，更英俊。

In an exclusive and in-depth interview, Dr. Couros talked to Bored Panda about the photos with his daughter, how he changed his life, as well as about the foundation of a healthy relationship between parents and children. Read on for the full interview, as well as the professor’s challenge for all of you Bored Pandas out there.

在一次独家深入采访中，库罗斯博士向Bored Panda讲述了他和女儿的照片，他如何改变了自己的生活，以及父母和孩子之间健康关系的基础。请继续阅读完整的采访，以及教授对你们这些Bored Panda提出的挑战。

The professor, who specializes in social networks and social media at the University of Regina, has a very large family. He revealed to Bored Panda that he has 4 children, all between 5 and 15 years old. (The writer of this article is the oldest of 4 siblings, so it’s a pleasant coincidence.) According to Dr. Couros, his kids are already “well-immersed in a society full of technology that is much different from the one many of us grew up in.”

这位教授在Regina大学专门研究社交网络和社交媒体，他有一个非常大的家庭。他向Bored Panda透露，他有4个孩子，年龄都在5到15岁之间。(这篇文章的作者是四个兄弟姐妹中年龄最大的，所以这是一个令人愉快的巧合。)库罗斯博士说，他的孩子们已经“很好地融入了一个充满科技的社会，这个社会与我们许多人成长的环境大不相同。”

“The reaction to this Reddit post was obviously larger and broader than what I expected. I’m happy to see how (mostly) positively the message was taken up. I’m a big fan of the Reddit community, and it didn’t disappoint,” the professor said. His post got more than 15,400 upvotes on Reddit in 24 hours.

“人们对这篇文章的反应明显比我预期的更大更广泛。我很高兴看到人们(基本上)积极地接受了这一信息。我是Reddit社区的忠实粉丝，它没有让我失望。”他的帖子在Reddit上24小时内获得了15400多个赞。

Dr. Couros went on to explain what changed between 2007 and 2019 to have made such a difference in how he looks. The changes have everything to do with more exercise, proper nutrition, and minimizing stress.

库罗斯接着解释了2007年到2019年之间发生了什么变化，让他的外貌发生了如此大的变化。这些改变与更多的锻炼、适当的营养和尽量减少压力有关。

“My kids need me, and I need them. I have to be around for them as long as I possibly can,” the father-of-four bared his heart in the interview.

“我的孩子需要我，我也需要他们。我必须尽可能长时间地陪伴他们，”这位四个孩子的父亲在采访中袒露心声。

Some people struggle with creating a warm, healthy relationship with their children or their parents. Luckily for all of us, Dr. Couros had some advice about parenting that he wanted to share with Bored Panda’s readers. According to him, connection is the foundation.

有些人很难与他们的孩子或父母建立一种温暖、健康的关系。幸运的是，库罗斯博士有一些育儿的建议，他想和Bored Panda的读者分享。在他看来，联系是基础。

“As part of my job, I am fortunate enough to talk to groups of parents across the globe to discuss the ins and outs of raising parents in the digital age. Connection is the term I use over and over. Connection can be about playing with our children, laughing with them, or enjoying time over a good meal.”

“作为我工作的一部分，我很幸运能与全球各地的父母们讨论在数字时代养育孩子的细节。“联系”是我反复使用的一个术语。联系可以是和我们的孩子一起玩，和他们一起笑，或者享受一顿美餐。”

Dr. Couros said that he has a challenge for all of you Readers. Are you ready? Here we go. “As a challenge to readers, I’d love you to think about ways that you can document the growth of your children (or loved ones) and the evolution of your relationships.”

库罗斯博士说，他面临着所有读者的挑战。你准备好了吗?我们开始吧。“作为对读者的一个挑战，我希望你们能思考一下如何记录自己孩子(或爱人)的成长和人际关系的演变。”
