Every child needs support from their parents at every stage of growth.
Some children need more, some need less, and some just need to be watched, but all children definitely need help.
Do you remember the moment your child first stood on his or her own two feet? You were so thrilled, you cheered, and you were so proud of him or her.
A child may not remember with his head how his parents reacted at that moment, but he remembers with his heart.
That memory remains as a feeling you get after overcoming difficulties.

--- From "Chapter 1 Growth Tasks - First Steps"

For children who are patient, how you ask questions is important.
When a child who is good at patience asks, “Are you having a hard time?”, it is very difficult for him to answer, “Yes, I am having a hard time.”
Even though it's obvious that he hates his younger sibling, if you ask him, "Do you hate your younger sibling?" he answers, "No."
“Your little brother, sometimes you can be really annoying, don’t you think?” If you say this, I’ll say “Yes.”
If you ask them directly, they may think that those feelings are bad and not be able to express their feelings honestly.

--- From "Chapter 1 Growth Challenges - First Early Childhood Institution"

You shouldn't continue to give a sensitive child excessive stress just to raise them to be strong.
When these children are very difficult or resistant to any stimulus, they should be stopped right there.
And then you have to repeat that same stimulus several times.
After experiencing this many times and the child becomes comfortable and feels like, "Oh, it's okay," you should move on to the next step.
If your child is not comfortable, you should not try to move quickly to the next step.
You have to proceed very slowly, little by little, to a level that the child can accept.

--- From "Chapter 2 Peers - Just Passing By"

Sometimes parents say this.
No matter how many times I tell the child, he doesn't change.
A child really needs to be taught a thousand, ten thousand times.
Saying it 'many times' won't make a difference.
And if that 'many times' is always the same way, then it doesn't change anything.
Parents who constantly find themselves asking their children, “Do you know how many times this is going to be said?” should consider whether they are trying to solve problems the same way every time.

--- From "Chapter 2 Peers - Pranks or Bullying"

Even children who really don't wake up have their own circumstances.
Most of these children are the type whose brains don't wake up quickly.
Even among adults, there are those who need a strong cup of espresso in the morning or a recovery drink to wake up.
No matter how many alarm clocks I set, I still can't wake up in the morning.
Since I'm the type of person who wakes up late, I actually hear the alarm that's been going off for 30 minutes only 5 minutes before I wake up.
Parents may say they woke the child up for an hour, but the child may only have heard the parent wake them up for five minutes.

--- From "Chapter 3 School Life - Waking Up in the Morning"

If your child asks, “Are you embarrassed, Mom?” tell them clearly.
“No, that’s not true.
Of course, I would be happy if you studied hard.
But I don't feel ashamed of you for not being able to do it.
“This is just a problem you need to improve on in the future.” When something like this happens, it hurts a child’s pride much more than a parent’s pride.
Children are suffering enough on their own without their parents putting any stress on them.
It takes wisdom to handle the situation carefully so that the child's self-esteem is not further damaged.

--- From "Chapter 3 School Life - After-School Supplementary Lessons"

As parents, we have interactions with our children and love to give.
This is not something that is given to a child when he or she is good to his or her parents, but it is something that should be given unconditionally.
If children don't receive it, it's so hard on their minds.
To a child, parents are the universe.
A child can grow up comfortably only when he or she feels safe in that universe, loved and respected, and trust is formed.
You can also overcome the stress that you inevitably experience in life.
Because the basic prerequisite for overcoming any kind of stress is ‘parents.’

--- From "Chapter 4 Parents - The Voice of the Child"

Parents should remember that their children's reasoning abilities are not yet fully developed.
A child needs to see and touch things rather than just think about them in his head.
Parents need to hug and tell their children that they love them so they know that they are loved.
So if you love your child, you need to increase the time you spend together.
During that time, try to enjoy yourself as much as possible rather than complaining or getting angry.
Spend time together and talk.

--- From "Chapter 4 Parents - Busy Dads"

Even if the parents themselves have no intention of doing so, unloving language can make children feel that their parents do not respect them.
The child feels that his parents ignore him and treat him rudely.
Shouting loudly means that you will only speak your mind rather than listen to the child.
The child's words are naturally drowned out by my loud voice.
This kind of parental tone causes the child's heart to become increasingly distant from the parent.
--- From "Chapter 4 Parents - Parents' Speech"

Parents should always be interested in their children's minds.
Because parents have to become their child's 'other self' when the child is young.
When a child tries to learn something but fails, instead of just saying, “Try it,” you stay right behind the child like a shadow and help the child’s immature development.
It's not just about performance, it's also about emotional aspects.
“Even if it was my dad, he would have been very angry at that time.
You need to explain the child's feelings by saying, "It hurts and upsets me so much when he does that."
Through it, the child realizes, 'Ah, so this is what my heart was like.
It's natural to be angry.
You start to feel like, 'I should be angry.'

--- From "Chapter 5: A Child's Heart Always Sends Signals"

Remember when you taught your child to walk for the first time? The parent walked in front, holding the child's hand.
If the child seems to be pulling away, the parents take a step back.
It's about teaching the child the direction to come forward.
When a child sees that image of their parent, they know, 'Oh, I have to go that way.'
When parents laugh and step back, they think, 'Oh, it's safer to go that way.'
You should do the same when dealing with your child's stress.
If you provide encouragement and support with comfortable words and a relaxed atmosphere, the child will feel safe and go through the process.
