凱特王妃在Place2Be校長(zhǎng)會(huì)議英語(yǔ)演講稿
Thank you, Catherine, for that kind introduction. Iwas delighted when I was asked to help open today'sconference.
I want to start by saying a big thank you to all of theheadteachers here today. I know how much is askedof you.
The fact that you are all committing your valuabletime to support Place2Be, and prioritise the mentalhealth of your students is something that all parentsshould be grateful for.
I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children. Iimagine my answer might be similar to many of yours.
I know that I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and securechildhood where I always knew I was loved, valued and listened to.
But of course many children aren't so lucky. Since beginning my work in areas like addiction,for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthoodare almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges.
I am sure you will agree that all children deserve time, attention and love from the adults intheir lives. These basic qualities are so much more valuable than the always changing materialand social concerns that can seem so important to young people.
As today's theme reminds us, many children – even those from stable, happy homes – arefinding that their heads are just too full. It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give allchildren the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for theirfuture.
Of course, not all children have the anchor of a strong family. Many will arrive through yourschool gates feeling a real lack of love and devotion in their lives. This often leaves themfeeling insecure and without confidence and trust in the world around them. That is why yourwork is so important.
Parents, teachers and other school staff need the tools to help these young people early in theirlives. And the earlier, the better. It is proven that early action prevents problems later in life.
Imagine if everyone was able to help just one child who needs to be listened to, needs to berespected, and needs to be loved – we can make such a huge difference for an entiregeneration.
As headteachers, you have the chance to reach tens of thousands of children during yourcareers, and make an impact on such a great scale. Thank you for making the work ofPlace2Be part of your mission. I hope you know how much your work is valued.
Thank you, and I look forward to the rest of the afternoon.
