SOME WAYS JAPANESE PEOPLE EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN

Hi guys, welcome back again on my blog. As usual, here I’ll discuss about Japan, especially about family life in Japan. Today, i’m going to tell you about “Some Ways Japanese People Educate Their Children”. Before I tell you about it; we have to know what’s educating? Educating is an effort to give motivation to children so that there is a process of internalizing values ​​in themselves, so a good attitude will be born.

Every country must have a positive culture and habits. Same like Japan, we know that Japanese people are known to be disciplined, strict and work hard. It turns out that they can happen because parents in Japan have implemented it since their children were young. We need to know that the way parents in Japan educate their children by parenting proximal. Proximal is consistent and prolonged body contact between mother and child. So mothers in Japan are more proactive to their children's needs.

Japanese people have a way or method of educating their children. Here are some ways Japanese people educate their children:

1.    Patience

Some parents will always be impatient when looking after their children especially when children do things that parents don't like. But patience is the main thing done by Japanese parents to their children. It happens because parents in Japan will give their children freedom of expression and do the things that they want but remain under parental supervision.

2.    How to Overcome The Angry Children and Tantrums

Tantrum is angry while screaming and crying. The habits of parents in Japan when they scold their children are when they are at home. They will not reprimand or scold their children in the presence of a crowd or outside the house. So when their children are angry and tantrum, the parents will scold and reprimand them inside the house, talk face to face and use a firm tone. Shame is also the thing that motivates children in Japan who are still in school to don’t make a affray outside the house.

3.    Show Affection

The parents in Japan will show affection and their attention to their children. It is done so that their children feel safe and comfortable when with parents but still have restrictions so that children continue to respect their parents.

4.    Praise The Right Way

In Japan, the way of parents praise in the right way is that parents will appreciate and praise; this not because of their intelligence but the efforts of their children and hard work themselve. And usually praising is something that can make satisfaction, enthusiasm even though we cannot make children become high-hearted does not mean that every thing must be praised. For example, when the child can draw or make something by himself/herself so we can praise that.  

5.    Respect to Other People

As we know that Asians have good manners, as well as Japanese people. The parents in Japan will teach their children early to respect older people. So the children will know how to be good in front of older people. It’s same like Indonesian people.

あいさつ Aisatsu is the culture of the Japanese people when saying excuse me, apologizing, getting acquainted, meeting older people and even receiving calls; they will bend their bodies slightly even though the person calling doesn't see you. Bending (お辞儀, ojigi) is a must, this tradition has been taught to children since toddlers.

    So those are “Some Ways Japanese People Educate Their Children”. I hope we can apply the methods of Japanese parents to overcome these children can be applied in our family life.
