How Japanese Parents Educate Children

If in Indonesia children are considered cute little creatures that should not be widely prohibited so as not to inhibit their creativity. In fact, since childhood they must be educated to understand the rules.

Parents in Japan apply discipline to their children early on. They do not hesitate to punish if their children are naughty. But the difference is that children are never scolded in public. They will be reprimanded and punished while at home. Therefore, Japanese children rarely behave arbitrarily because they know what the consequences are if they break the rules.

Children are also taught to empathize with everyone. All their deeds must have consequences and they are taught to keep their attitude. Japanese people always advise their children with this advice: treat others the way you want to be treated. Every child's actions will always have consequences for others. So he will get used to attaching importance to the feelings and interests of others first before his own interests.

When eating in restaurants there are no children who go downstream, walk here and there. All the children sit on their benches. The baby is always carried or held by his mother. If the baby is fussy, the mother will stand up and hold him. In Japan, mothers never breastfeed their babies in public places. They are always breastfeeding in the nursing room.

In hospitals, clinics, malls, and other public places, there were no children pacing, running around, talking loudly. Suppose in a clinic or hospital, it is dangerous if our child goes for a walk or even runs around. Because many medics pass by, or patients who can fall due to tripping children. In addition, it interferes with the comfort of others. We certainly like a calm and orderly atmosphere. On the train, children should sit in an orderly and not noisy manner. Because in public transportation should not interfere with other passengers.

The school focuses on ethics and this is taught early on. Since home. Then continue at school until at work later. All components of society, both family and school, teach children to be ethical and polite.

Children are taught to ask permission first before borrowing their friends' toys, taught to always be polite and smile. Get used to saying thank you and apologizing if you make a mistake whether it is intentional or not. Parents are not permissive, they are taught to do everything they should have done early on. What can't be done is still forbidden. It's not that they're kids and they're allowed to break the rules. For example, if they should not sabotage the queue in the toilet. They still have to wait in line with other adults though.

TV media in Japan may be for Indonesians to be unattractive because the contents are mostly talk shows, eating, sightseeing and science. Almost arguably the media both tv and print have little effect on their mental because the Japanese government does prohibit posting photos or images that are violent or pornographic. The curriculum in schools emphasizes the importance of ethical and polite manners. And at home they were educated to value time. Learn to take turns and be patient while playing with his friends. They're not used to playing catch-up. Words of help, thanks and forgiveness are things they are used to saying.

From birth, children are always with their mothers. They never escaped the mother's supervision. Mothers in Japan are very disciplined towards their children. They nurture and educate the children without the help of a maid or baby sitter. Not because maids or baby sitters are expensive there. But it is precisely because of their understanding of the importance of educating children that is their responsibility.
