孩子们真正想和家人一起做的事情
Seventy-three percent of American kids would like more opportunities to bond with their family, according to new research.
一项最新调查显示,73%的美国孩子希望有更多的机会与家人团聚。
But the survey of 2,000 school-aged children (aged 6–17) found that they aren’t alone: Seventy percent of parents would also like more chances to spend quality time together.
但这项针对2000名学龄儿童(6-17岁)的调查发现,他们并不孤单:70%的父母也希望有更多的机会与孩子共度美好时光。
Luckily, moms and dads searching for inspiration don’t have to look far, as the survey pinpointed the top activities children want to do more of with their folks.
幸运的是,寻找灵感的父母不用找太远,因为调查准确地指出了孩子最想和父母一起做的事情。
Commissioned by Red Robin and conducted by OnePoll, results revealed the top activities were spending the day at the beach, playing sports in the yard and taking a day trip to a museum or amusement park.
受Red Robin委托,OnePoll公司开展的一项调查显示,最受欢迎的活动是在沙滩上度过一天,在院子里做运动,以及去博物馆或游乐园一日游。
Also making the list were playing board or card games as a family or going out to dinner together.
同样榜上有名的还有一家人一起玩棋盘或纸牌游戏,或者一起出去吃饭。
For parents looking to make the most of the rest of their summer, other activities on the list were creating arts and crafts, hiking in the woods and cooking meals as a family.
对于想要充分利用暑假的父母来说,其他活动还包括制作工艺品、在树林里远足以及全家一起做饭。
When it comes to connecting around the dinner table, kids say they’d have more fun with their family if they were allowed to decide the order of the meal, i.e. dessert first (59 percent), could order for the entire family (52 percent) or if they were the only ones allowed to ask questions at the table (32 percent).
当谈到餐桌周围的联系时,孩子们说,如果允许他们决定用餐的顺序,即先吃甜点(59%),可以为整个家庭(52%)或如果他们唯一被允许在餐桌上问问题(32%)。
In good news for parents, the majority of children surveyed consider their family to be close (90 percent), with more than half of those (56 percent) specifying a “very close” bond.
对于家长来说,好消息是,大多数被调查的孩子认为他们的家庭关系很亲密(90%),超过一半的孩子(56%)表示“非常亲密”的关系。
That shows that even though 34 percent of children don’t think their parents understand what it’s like to be a kid today, it doesn’t affect the strength of their family connections.
这表明,尽管34%的孩子认为他们的父母不了解现在的孩子是什么样子,但这并不影响他们家庭关系的牢固强度。
Even when asked about their friends, children were more likely to feel connected to their family than their peers (49 percent vs. 14 percent).
即使当被问及他们的朋友时,孩子们也比他们的同龄人更有可能感受到与家人的联系(49%:14%)。
Sixty-nine percent of kids surveyed would like more one-on-one time with their mom, while 72 percent felt the same about their dad.
69%的受访孩子希望能有更多的时间和妈妈单独相处,而72%的孩子对爸爸也有同样的想法。
The survey looked beyond the activities children wanted to do more with their parents and also looked to find the adults’ perspective.
调查不仅着眼于孩子们想和父母一起做的事情,还着眼于成年人的观点。
While parents enjoy activities like hiking, helping with homework and playing games with their children, it all comes down to “anything where [their children] are enjoying themselves and laughing.”
虽然家长们喜欢徒步旅行、帮助孩子做家庭作业和和孩子们一起玩游戏等活动,但归根结底都是“孩子们开心大笑的任何事情”。
