Talking about how my parents raised me, what I remember is punishment and I hated it. When I was about three to 8 years old, I was super active and my parents were struggling with raising me; that's what I heard from them. Since my older sister was pretty quiet and good child, it was a bit difficult for them to teach me how to behave. So, my parents, especially my mom, used to hit me with her hand pretty bad when I did something wrong. That's all I remember now. However, that punishment was disappeared after I became forth grade in elementary school somehow.
I guess I didn't think about any values and didn't understand why my mom was so angry. But now, my mom says, "Do whatever you want" and that's what I do right now.
I'll write a little bit about school. I don't remember any displine by my teachers. I won't write about that, but will write about so much responsibilities of the teachers in Japan, which John wrote about on his post. I agree that the teachers responsibility is too much in Japan. I think there must be more responsibility for parents too since they raised him/her.
Actually, I am thiking about being a teacher in either junior high or high school. However, the fact of teachers' responsibilty in japan is making me difficult to give a final decision.
I think you look are still so active girl:) (which is good!)
ReplyDeleteI don't want to hit my daughter hard. A few light smacks on the hand are okay, but that should be the limit, in my opinion. I'll try to explain why she has to do something as much as I can. It's difficult to be patient all the time though. Parenting is a really tough job. Generally speaking, I think people should wait at least until their late 20s before becoming one.
