Parents have been worried about their children since kindergarten, hoping that their children can have access to high-quality educational resources and grow up healthily and happily.

However, influenced by the cultural background and traditions of different countries, educational ideas will also show different characteristics, and some advantages are really worth learning and thinking about.

For example, Japanese kindergarten education is hard-core, but parents in China call it "impossible". What is the difference?

1, "Hygiene" and "Unhealthy"

It is generally recognized that children have low immunity and are easily infected by bacteria and viruses. Therefore, parents in China attach great importance to children's hygiene.

In addition to repeatedly emphasizing washing hands before and after meals, some parents will regularly disinfect their children's toys with alcohol, which is not bad, and some are even worse, and even don't let their children sit on the ground.

Children are very playful, and cognition develops through games and exploration.

But now most parents advocate that girls play with dolls quietly, while boys play with cars quietly, as long as they are not naughty.

However, in kindergartens in Japan, both boys and girls play with mud and sand, and the school also provides various toys, such as buckets, shovels and small molds. Children will naturally let themselves go.

In our opinion, this must be very unsanitary, but in fact, children in Japanese kindergartens always wash their hands after playing these games.

2. "Individualization" and "collectivization"

Although most kindergartens now have garden clothes, there are still many parents who like to dress their children uniquely and want to show their personality.

In Japan, on the other hand, kindergartens require children to wear uniform uniforms and carry the same schoolbags, in order to let children have a sense of collectivity and always understand that they are part of the collective.

At the same time, Japanese kindergartens will also organize a large number of activities to further cultivate children's collective concept and let them remember it.

3. About "Eat and Wear Warm"

In China, it is necessary to eat and wear warm clothes, especially for children.

Afraid that they don't have enough to eat, let their parents chase after them; I am afraid that my child will catch cold, so when the weather changes, parents are very nervous and want to put on cotton-padded clothes for their children.

However, in Japanese kindergartens, children are advised to eat only seven points full, which is more conducive to digestion and can reduce the burden on the stomach; Dressing also advocates seven points of warmth, and it is not uncommon for children to play games outdoors in autumn wearing only a single coat.

This makes many parents in China unable to understand. Aren't they afraid that their children will freeze to death and get sick?

In fact, the educational concept of Japanese kindergartens is to improve children's immunity through "self-healing from minor illnesses" and let the body gain experience in "actual combat".

4. Do your own thing.

In China, it is common for parents to pick up their children from kindergartens with their schoolbags on their backs.

But in Japanese kindergartens, children are required to carry their own schoolbags. In addition to the schoolbags for books, they also have backpacks for other supplies, all of which are brought by themselves.

However, we still have to say a few words for our parents in China. It's not that I don't want my children to go to school independently, but it's impossible in reality! Traffickers are rampant and traffic is heavy on the road. It is really impossible to rest assured.

In addition, some older children have to work as staff in the kindergarten canteen to provide dining services for their younger brothers and sisters.

Objectively speaking, this really helps to cultivate children's independent ability.

5. There is no limit to the meal time.

In kindergartens in China, there is a strict timetable from studying to playing games to taking a nap.

Many kindergartens will set a meal time for children, which makes some children have to eat in a hurry or put down chopsticks before they are full.

In Japanese kindergartens, children eat at random, and chewing slowly is more helpful for digestion.

In a word, different educational ideas lead to great differences in many aspects between Chinese and Japanese kindergartens.

This is caused by national conditions and traditional culture. Of course, we can't copy it, but some aspects are really worth learning from. Let's make continuous progress, right?

In addition, right and wrong should vary from person to person, and what is suitable for children is the best.
