子育て｜育児のイライラを解消する方法 / Parenting: Ways to Alleviate Frustration in Child-Rearing

Summary

The text discusses the challenging situations parents face while raising children, particularly the frustration that arises when children get up from the table during meals or resist brushing their teeth.

The article explores ways to maintain a positive parent-child relationship through creative disciplining techniques and a new approach called “Safe Care.” Specifically, it suggests methods for guiding children without yelling, as well as strategies tailored to the reasons behind their resistance to certain behaviors.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, my mom gets angry a lot too! What do you think I should do?
Log: It’s pretty common for kids to get up from their seats or resist brushing their teeth. Instead of scolding them, it’s important to think about how to guide them gently.
Chako: I see! But how can I say it kindly?
Navi: Let me add to that. Understanding the reasons behind why children resist and empathizing with their feelings can be effective. For example, you can acknowledge their desire to play while smoothly transitioning them to the next activity.
Log: So, it’s about empathizing with the child and gradually helping them develop good habits. It seems like parents need to be creative too.

Admin’s Note

Frustration in parenting is a theme that many parents can relate to. Particularly, how to communicate with children is extremely important, and the focus should be on understanding each other rather than just reprimanding. New approaches, like the “Safe Care” mentioned in the article, can help improve parent-child relationships. The conversation between Chaco and Log also emphasizes the importance of being close to your child. Therefore, I believe it’s essential for parents to learn ways to cope calmly while also reducing their own stress.
