Last Updated December 2, 2022

What can adults do at home so that their children can grow richly?

Why don't you think about how to interact with your child?

-To help children grow richly~

Adults closest to children at home are great for children.
But it doesn't mean that adults always have to show perfect appearance, "because they are adults" or "for children."
It may work, or may not work.
Occasionally, I try something with my child and laugh together.
Relax your heart, enjoy with your child, grow up with your child ...
Why don't you spend your days with the feeling of enjoying child care relaxedly?

What adults can do at home

How to interact with children

By taking care of children as they are and communicating that they are irreplaceable and important.

Children will be able to be confident in themselves and work on a variety of things.


"Reception as it is" does not mean that you can study or exercise, or because you are friendly to friends.
Even if the child fails to do something well or fails, it means that the child will accept the child as it is, "I'm good" without conditions.
Of course, there are times when I can't accept it well.
But it is important to try to take your child as it is.

Children raised carefully by adults are children who can value themselves and others.
Please tell your heart that you value your child and that you are an "irreplaceable" existence.
Even if it is not a word, you may be able to gently show it in your posture or behavior.
To do so, it is necessary for adults raising children to take care of themselves.

Adults and children are different from each other, so you may be worried about what to do with raising children.
In such a case, it is a good idea to consult with a school, consulting organization, or people around you.
It may also be useful to read a book.
You don't have to be swayed by various information, but you feel like growing up with your child.
It may be a good idea to look for a child care that suits you and your child.

When elementary school students are ~ Points to understand children ~

There are individual differences in the development of children, but the body and mind change significantly in six years of elementary school.

At the time of enrollment, it is necessary to pay close attention to the child's appearance, put your eyes, and respond carefully.
Let's think about the time to reach out little by little as the child grows up.

1st and 2nd graders: When you enter elementary school, the world expands greatly.

It will take some time for children to adapt to school. At first, you may not be able to get up in the morning, or you may sleep tired before eating dinner. Think about the rhythm of life at home according to your child's condition so that you can match your child's rhythm with your school life. Also, when a child talks about the state of the school, it will be reassured if they listen carefully and give it up.

3rd and 4th graders: In junior high school, you may get back and become more assertive.

It is evidence that the child's personality and intention has sprouted, so let's watch it warmly as growth. Also, since it is a time when friends and learning-related stumblings increase, not only listen to the children's words, but also look closely at the home such as facial expressions and appetite, and if you have any concerns, school teachers and surroundings Let's talk with people and think about the response together.

Grades 5 and 6: In the upper grades, repulsion and rebellion become noticeable, and there may be more things that adults do not talk to.

Some children take care of their friends rather than adults. You may feel a little lonely, but it is a proof of your child's growth. Being more self-reliant than in junior high school years, if an adult unilaterally instructs from his experience so far, it may respond sensitively or rebound. Listen to your child's story what it means, and gently convey your thoughts as one opinion that values your child. . By seeing such adult responses, children learn to respect each other's opinions, understand each other through discussions, and solve problems by cooperating.

When junior high school students are ~ Points to understand children ~

Junior high school students are transitioning to adults, and their bodies and minds change significantly.
For this reason, it is difficult for children themselves to keep up with changes, and their feelings are greatly shaken.
It may seem selfish or selfish, but don't panic and have plenty of time to think and understand why your child takes that action.
Adults also grow into the next stage of raising children for junior high school students.

Although there are individual differences, some children may have secondary characteristics from the upper grades of elementary school.

You may feel anxious and confused about the changes that occur in your body.

You may be rebellious or have a selfish attitude.

It may hide the worries of the child's own friendship and anxiety about the future.
If a child feels necessary, it may be a good idea to tell adults what they want to support and that there are adults who can support other than family adults.

Children grow up on their own, are trying to walk their way to adults, and their lives.
What adults can do is believe in children and watch over them.
And let them know that there are adults who want to help when they need help.

Home Education Column-Child care at home-

Adults and children are different from each other, so there will be a variety of child care.
If you are a little confused about raising your own, knowing about raising your child in another home may be a reference for your own child.
Why don't you read the column of parents raising children?
