Raising Japanese children can be quite different compared to the rest of the world. Different Japanese customs and Japanese traditions lend to a different way a Japanese baby or Japanese child is raised. As Japanese kids grow, they are typically taught empathy, how to care about Japanese group harmony and to think about others. As a Japanese baby, most of their time is spent with their Japanese mother and they grow up in the same bedroom. In fact, many Japanese don't leave the house until after they get married. Japanese children are also taught to ride public transportation like ride a Japanese train or ride a Japanese bus in the middle of Tokyo or any other large Japanese city. These are just some of the examples in the video of how shockingly Japanese are raised differently from the rest of the world. Let me know in the comments how it relates to your country.

Loved the video! A lot of child rearing is the same around the world. However, as a retired Social Worker, bathing with your opposite sex parent after the age of 3 or 4 is highly inappropriate! I don't care what culture you're from. When a child starts to become very inquisitive about sexual parts, it's time to stop bathing with them. It's very difficult to teach children personal boundaries when parents are still bathing with them, never mind the discomfort for either of them. You have to remember when child rearing, things are different from when you were little compared to now. For example, I would not be letting my 5 year old roam a city by themselves with so many wackos out there that's for sure. There's so many other ways to teach children independence. 💙🕊️🕊️💙

After watching a documentary about how Japanese children are raised through attachment parenting, I decided early on to raise my children similarly (co-sleeping, wearing them in a sling for the first year of their life, co-bathing, always having them with me 100% of the time, etc.). Now they are 13 yo and 8 yo. They are the best kids in the world. They are considerate, confident, compassionate and self-disciplined. It was the best decision for my family!

Of course in elementary either teachers or helpers would make the food for people who don't have food. Maybe because we live in different areas and every school I'm from talks about how you need a heathy diet in every grade makes the difference or age difference.

I'm from Finland, and some parts of this video sounded very familiar to me, like kids going to school on their own, schools serving healthy lunches, and families bathing together (but here it's just sauna instead of baths). While there are lots of differences between Finland and Japan, I've always felt some sort of connection to their culture. There are things we share.

@akinasukizakura 2 года назад

@glanwen10969 2 года назад

I was to say the same. And in Finland you don't have to pay for the lunch, it's offered by the city. The lunch is free also in lukio (~high school/ koukou), it is only until universities and colleges you have to pay for it, but it is very cheap, like three euros a meal. The sauna culture is perhaps changing, but traditionally families have bathed in sauna all together, so seeing your family members naked is no big deal. Some people here are more concerned their privacy than others, sometimes for personal reasons more than for adapted culture, but I think that younger people are more bashful than older generations.

@pink_alligator 2 года назад

I'd say the only difference or the core for the only differences between us Nordics (I'm Swedish Norwegian) and Japan comes from Japan being a collective society to a fault and a more conservative culture. While we're not pure individualist as like the US (which takes that to a fault) we certainly share the thinking about the collective but we're still much more individualist compared to Japan and definitely a lot less conservative

@@pink_alligator ..just do not fall close to, or in to the bad books of the Norway Child Services, even slightly, ..they at times have severely over-reacted and removed children for egotistacal reasons of office with power over all citizens, with no oversight over some of their higher level staff's 'opinionated' decisions that were later found to be morally incorrect to the many situations, for decades.

Several years ago a group of Japanese students visited my American high school for a couple weeks and their reaction to our lunches made me realize we were being fed garbage. Like I knew it, and we all wished it were better, but seeing their reaction just cemented that in my mind. Our food was trash. And the funny thing is that when people try to improve standards and make it healthier the parents go on a rampage about it to preserve the trash food because their kids won't eat healthier food. The trash starts at home I guess.

My Japanese mother family rules: 1. Respect and honor your parents and elders. 2. Kyoukan or empathy (迷惑をかけない) 3. Shoujiki or honesty, integrity. 4. Ganbatte! Try your best! But really, perfection or kanpeki (完璧) in all you do to reach enlightenment. 5. Save one-half your paycheck. 6. The group or team is more important than you, the individual. 7. And the list goes on an on. 8. And don't forget to send your child to the grocery store or neighbor's house to pickup things alone starting at age 4. 9. When I walked to school, there were signs reminding us of correct behavior. 10. Once at school, we formed up in the courtyard at the position of 'attention' and the principal would stand out in front of us and yell, "Dainippon teikoku, tenno heika . . ." And we shout and raise our hands up in the air, "Banzai, banzai, banzai.!" 11. It was an unspoken taboo in my family to send your aging parents to a nursing home. See rule 1. As an adult, I lived with my aging parents and took care of them. If someone asked me where I lived. I would say with my parents. If the person asking the question was American. They would give me a strange look. But if the person was Japanese they gave me an approving look or they would say, 'good son.' Fortunately, I have three brothers and two sisters. We all took turns living with our aging parents. Both died in their beds in their home sleeping next to one of their siblings.

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts/feeling/experiences with wolfy. It's ensightful and much apprciated. I live in the UK, so there is a bit of cross-over with American culture there (when it came to lunch). However, When I was about 10 I moved to a boarding school and there was a huge shift in how foods was treated, which you might find interesting. It was a small school, so the whole school ate at the same time and each class/group had their assigned table. Meals were different everyday and I would consider them fairly healthy and balanced. These meals would be served out by the "Head" of the table (usually a teacher), the "Server" of the table rotated everyday (anyone else on the table who wasn't the teacher) and they were expected to serve the whole table. The tray of food would then be served out by the Head, Heads of table would make up game to decide who would eat the leftovers (often phrased as "seconds"). The server would then take away any dirty dishes to the kitchen. I have a memory of being a Server one time and carrying a tray of food that was bit heavy (I think it was a pie) ... and I ended up pouring hot gravy down my uniform and scalding my legs. I remeber putting the pie on the floor and running to the toilets to try and run cold water over myself, thankfully a teacher had spotted me struggling and had ran after me to provide aid. I then remember being in floods of tears, naked in a bath with the Matron putting cold water on me (it was a boarding school, of course they had a Matron). A bit of an unusual food/lunch setup compared to my UK- Based peers, but one I think really taught me good manners and gave me an appreciated for different foods and one I hope my own children will be able to learn valuable lessons from.

@davidanthony4960 Год назад

ARE YOU F..KING serious?? ok let me start by saying Japan is a very veery fake culture.. what they show the world its NOT how they act... ok 1.) Japan has NO children's rights.. so children are basically seen as a piece of furniture and moved around without any respect or understanding of what they child needs and is entitled too as a human being under the children's rights laws which most other countries do have.... 2.) japan does not understand family or custody laws that most countries do.. japan has no laws in place that understand that a child should be allowed to have contact with both parents after a divorce.. they think the kid should only see one parent.. which goes alongside my first point in that they have no childrens rights laws... so they done care if they child sees both parents.. which the rest of the word "modern world" understands is necessary for the Childs mental well being and growth........ 3. Japan is known as the family child abduction capitol of the world..... you just need to google it... 100000s of kids are being taken away from one parent if the other patent isn't happy anymore... and abducted so that one parent cant see them.... I could write about this forever but let me tell you.. you have a false idea of Japanese culture... it has been and long been the country that pretends to be a beautiful sweet place.... until you get caught in itssystem.. 4. Japan have incredibly poor human rights laws.. I mean the laws go back 100s of years and they haven't been changed... Japan may look visually like a lovely place to you.. but let me promise you it is a dark place especially if you are a foreigner and are married to a Japanese.. the country and cultural beliefs will literately eat you alive and you will never recover... and that also goes for Japanese people also.,. the issue with japan is the LACK of empathy for others not how much they teach it,.. lol.. trust me on this.. all the bowing and yes yes yes thank you thank you bow bow bow... its all bullshit... if you were caught in a family issue or had a kid there you would be eaten alive and thrown out like you were a piece of nothing... trust me.. ive seen it millions of times... it is a country that has a huge LACK of empathy for whats cosindered morally right in most developed countries.... good luck

My father's first girlfriend was Japanese, many moons ago. Even when they broke up, and he fathered me with my mother, he retained many Japanese traditions as a way to raise me, whilst combining them with our own, Portuguese ones. Empathy, Responsibility and Love above all, were values I learnt through him, and being given not just toys and friends to play with, but responsibilities as well - which made me feel validated, and strong - independent.

@moondog7694 3 года назад

Not sure about the empathy one. If Japanese are so empathetic, why are there so few vegans? Why is there not much of an animal welfare movement there? Why do they not admit refugees? If it's the government, how come I don't see large number of Japanese people begging their government to start accepting refugees? How come Japanese aren't coming to Africa and handing out free food to the starving people in Africa? Are large numbers of Japanese people donating money to build wildlife refuges in other countries to help save their endangered species? Are Japanese people donating bone marrow to strangers?

@thestudio66 3 года назад

@@moondog7694 Considering their society and culture, it's fair to say the Japanese are still opening up to things, and to us in general, as for many years it was a closed society. You're right in asking those questions, although I do think it's a matter of time - not lack of empathy.

@moondog7694 3 года назад

@@thestudio66 I think it's that more of their empathy is directed inwardly (towards their own family members), thus less is available for outside their own family. Empathy is a zero-sum game. The more you have for strangers, the less you'll have for your own family, and vice-versa. Dr. Ed Dutton says right-wingers are more instinctual. Dr. Bloom says all humans were right-wingers hundreds of years ago. Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa says that leftism can be defined as concern for non-genetically related beings. People of a different nationality, or different race, or different species, or just people outside your own family or not known to you (like not your classmate or coworker), are treated as non-kin, if what SerpentZA says is true.

@ClassyJohn 3 года назад

I 100% agree with the view of having your kid learn how to be empathetic towards other people's feelings (which, in asian countries, tends to be more about group harmony mentality) while also embracing their own individuality. I have a pretty unique experience as I grew up in the U.S. as an Asian American so most of the emphasis in school was on not breaking laws or getting into trouble (you're considered a bad kid if you do so). At home, my mom taught me to be considerate of others and put others needs above your own as I grew up around siblings and I saw that my parents basically always put us (the kids) first before themselves. The way that has affected me (as an adult in his late 20s) is that I have tendencies to be indecisive often because I try my best to be agreeable and pick a decision that would benefit most or everyone else over myself. I'm trying to be myself more (less agreeable especially when there are differences of opinion) and be more decisive, being more considerate of myself. If theres any advice I would impart to new parents or parents with very young kids, I would say that i personally think its a good idea to expose your kids to these situations from both the empathetic ("think of others") mindset and the individual ("think of yourself") mindset and let your kid make the decision themselves. They will make mistakes and thats okay (mistakes are how we grow). Its good to teach your children but at the same time, give them space to think and make their own decisions. They'll grow into their own individual person better when they're forced to make their own decisions based on their own reasoning (rather than the logic/bias that you or others impose on them).

My kids and I have been watching something on Netflix about first errands, and we're so impressed (me particularly) on how the kids remember to do things, have self-control, think of solutions, are so self-aware... I wanted to know why the kids are so responsible, etc and came across your video. I was born in CA. My family is from the south, and I have a bit of mixed heritage and grew up with a lot of different cultures in CA (so there are a lot of factors going on here). I co-sleep with my son (5) and daughter (11). My 15-yr-old will sometimes join us. I feel like my 11-yr-old still needs that so that's why I let her sleep in the room with us. Interestingly, I got rid of my boxspring and top mattress, so we just use a mattress on the floor, and I put it up during the day because I don't like clutter. I like the tatami mattress you mentioned. The co-showering. I did that with my son until he was about 4 1/2. I questioned if that was too old by American standards, but he has a developmental delay and didn't seem to be aware that I was different lol. He still does not consider me to be a "girl." He used to say I was a boy. Then, it changed to me just being "mom"--not girl or boy. I teach my kids to be empathetic, but I also want them to be individual and I support individuality. Also, I don't expect my kids to move out at 18. I don't want to oblige them to stay either, but I think it's better that they are established before they move.Thank you so much for the Bokksu suggestion. I'm going to check that out.
