SUMMARY:
– Japanese parents take special care into passing on their traditions and telling their kids about their country’s history through fairy tales.
– Japanese mothers have a belief that children are initially disconnected from parents and that they need to become dependent on the mother through physical touch.
– Kids in Japan are often involved in sports teams, creative groups, and any club or gathering that will teach them to cooperate with others and follow pre-set guidelines.
– Japanese kids are taught to always respect and honor their grandparents and all elders. Even elders who are strangers to the children are considered trustworthy and must be respected!
– In Japan, children always have a balanced meal. Their parents prepare a nutritional lunch that usually includes some rice, vegetables, soup, and lean meat.
– From a very early age, parents in Japan teach their children to think of others before they speak or act, so it’s very uncommon to see a child crying uncontrollably or being aggressive in public.
– In Japan, kids as young as seven years old get to travel to school by themselves. The Japanese get away with this because they have a phenomenal public transport system and one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
– Many parents discipline their kids in the presence of others, but Japanese parents tend to do it behind doors and away from prying eyes.
