Seeing the controversy over the Folk Village ghosts, is this the right way to raise children?
People should grow up amidst moderate stimulation.
Children who grow up with animals or in the countryside
develop stronger immunity to viruses than other children and have less atopy.
Challenges, failures, and frustrations must be experienced during childhood.
It is not as if we are going to raise children in a sterile room;
once they become adults, they will naturally face competition, moments of falling behind, and times when they must rise again after failing.
Unless it is serious and continuous violence or verbal abuse,
being criticized or getting hit once or twice has no impact on a person's growth.
While watching news about noise complaints regarding sports days recently, I learned something surprising.
Not only are sports days rarely held these days,
but even when they are difficult to organize, they say they don't even determine winners or losers.
Is this right?
Sports are played to determine winners and losers, and also to learn the frustration of wanting to win the next time after losing.
When raising children, I wish people would stop obsessing over that "self-esteem" thing.
A child who has never failed will break down after just one failure during major life milestones, such as university or employment.
A person who has never been criticized as a child will be unable to endure the stress and pressure they will inevitably face after getting a job.
Unless you plan to support your child for the rest of your life,
you must teach them the experience of making decisions alone, failing alone, and standing up again.
