The three Rs. Hello I am the Earth, yup the very planet you live on. There are three words which start with the letter R which I love. They are: Reduce, reuse and recycle. Do you know why I love them so much? Because they are almost magical words. Together they can make all living things as well as myself be happier. I said that they are “almost” magical because without your help it won’t work, they need all of you children in order to do the trick. Each and every one of you are the real 3Rs magicians, those three words which can change the world. Do you want to know how? Yes? Well let’s find out.. The first R is for reduce. If you think about it, there are many things you don’t need. When you go to the supermarket, I am sure you could take your own canvas bags instead of using disposable ones given to you. This way you will be reducing the amount of plastic which is very contaminating. And I am sure that you don’t need to print out so many documents or photos, nor leave the lights, television or computer on when you are not using them. If you remember this, you will be reducing the amount of paper being used as well as energy, and in turn will be helping reduce the contamination. And these are just a few examples. I am sure you can think of many more different ways to reduce what you are using or creating unnecessary waste. The following question will help you with this task: Do I really need this or is this just a whim? The second R is for recycling. Now it is easier than ever to recycle things we don’t need any more so that they can be reused. Near your home you can find places, like the recycling station and containers for cans, plastic, paper or organic waste. They each have their specific colors to make them easier. By using them, you will avoid contaminating nature, the rivers and seas as well as the atmosphere, which is the air we breathe.. . And finally we have the third R, which refers to reuse. How many things do you think we can reuse again and again instead of throwing them away? Let´s see…a piece of paper that has only one side printed on it, a carton box, a plastic bottle…you think now. With just a bit of imagination, I am sure you will come up with many more exciting and fun new uses for them.. And remember: if you apply the 3Rs rule, you will make me a much cleaner planet, with less contamination and where we all can enjoy a better life.. Because as you know…children can make the world of difference.
In his humorous and uplifting style, Gever Tulley debunks classic myths of childhood safety. With rampant fear mongering, is it any wonder that children are actually over-protected? Instead, Tulley believes the most effective way to keep children safe is to give them a little taste of danger.. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Psychologists think that limits make a child feel safer and calmer. However, certain restraints can do just the opposite, making your little one feel insecure and slowing their development. Here are some things you should allow your kids to do – for instance, crying and being noise.. TIMESTAMPS. Asking questions 0:43. Feeling angry or jealous 1:52. Being greedy 2:13. Saying “no” 2:55. Having secrets 3:17. Being afraid 4:26. Being noisy 5:00. Crying 5:32. Making mistakes 6:07. Don’t be shy to offer your help 6:48. SUMMARY. Ask your child some questions as well. One of them might be ‘How was your day?’ If at first your child doesn’t want to respond or just says something like ’fine’ or ’everything’s ok,’ you don’t need to insist on a fuller answer. Tell your child about your day, things you have learned, and the things you have enjoyed.. A child is a person, and they have the right to have negative feelings. Remember that their willpower isn’t strong yet, and they have trouble controlling themselves. Your kids shouldn’t just stop expressing their feelings if we think they’re “bad” ones.. A child has the right to have things of their own, just as adults do. Never shame them for being greedy. Instead, ask them to exchange their toys with other kids.. Your child isn’t your subject; they’re a family member in their right. Forbidding them to say “no” to you means violating their borders. Instead, try to find a way to explain to them why they sometimes must do what they don’t want to.. The older your kids are, the more they need their privacy. You should know what’s going on in their lives, but make sure you don’t trespass. Your kids’ trust is priceless, and it’s best not to risk it by reading their diaries or pressing them for secrets. However, always show your kid that you’re interested in them.. Little kids may become scared of a doctor or a strange relative, and that’s fine. Don’t shame them for being afraid, but let them know you’re there and there’s nothing to fear. Also, if you have a son, never tell him anything like, ‘Boys are not meant to get scared’ or ‘Men don’t have a right to express their feelings.’. Don’t spoil your kid’s childhood. Let them sing songs and make noises. When they grow up, the society won’t them let do many things and will force them to follow a lot of rules.. Children feel everything much more vividly than adults. Don’t forbid your kid to cry, nor shame them for tears. It’s better to help them understand why they’re crying and find a way to deal with it.. No one likes making mistakes, and it’s even worse when an adult scolds you for them. It’s no surprise that a child won’t ever want to do anything on their own after that. Never say ‘You should be ashamed of yourself’ or ‘You’re a bad person’.. BONUS. Most of us find it difficult asking other people for help. A child who is not used to getting help with small things won’t ask their parents for assistance in difficult situations either. Take small steps at first. Offer your child help with cleaning their room or doing their homework. Don’t be afraid to ask.. Do you know any other parenting mistakes that all of us should avoid? Share them in the comments!.

All kids are a joy to be around, but Japanese children are some of the most polite, friendly, and well-behaved you’ll ever meet. They don’t let their feelings run wild. In Japan, you’ll rarely meet a child who’s crying in the supermarket (though there are always exceptions to the rule).. Bright Side thinks that we ought to learn some upbringing tricks from Japanese parents. So we’ve collected the main principles of raising children in the Land of the Rising Sun. So if your parenting rules aren’t doing the trick, maybe give these tips a try! If it works for people in Japan, it might just work for you! TIMESTAMPS:. Storytelling is a top priority 0:46. The mother-child bond is very close 1:35. Rules are more important than punishment 2:23. The community is involved in parenting 3:02. The child’s nutrition is spot on 3:56. Children must think of others 4:54. Children are highly independent 5:38. Parents discipline their children in private 6:21. #japan #japanesekids #parentingtips. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/. SUMMARY: Japanese parents take special care into passing on their traditions and telling their kids about their country’s history through fairy tales.. Japanese mothers have a belief that children are initially disconnected from parents and that they need to become dependent on the mother through physical touch.. Kids in Japan are often involved in sports teams, creative groups, and any club or gathering that will teach them to cooperate with others and follow pre-set guidelines.. Japanese kids are taught to always respect and honor their grandparents and all elders. Even elders who are strangers to the children are considered trustworthy and must be respected! In Japan, children always have a balanced meal. Their parents prepare a nutritional lunch that usually includes some rice, vegetables, soup, and lean meat.. From a very early age, parents in Japan teach their children to think of others before they speak or act, so it’s very uncommon to see a child crying uncontrollably or being aggressive in public.. In Japan, kids as young as seven years old get to travel to school by themselves. The Japanese get away with this because they have a phenomenal public transport system and one of the lowest crime rates in the world.. Many parents discipline their kids in the presence of others, but Japanese parents tend to do it behind doors and away from prying eyes..

Being a parent requires responsibility even when it comes to word choice. Here are seven phrases that affect children’s mental development and altered them for the better.. TIMESTAMPS. You should listen to adults 0:30. Stop crying 1:00. Don’t be greedy! 1:34. Who taught you this? (about a mischief) 2:11. Look at this lovely girl 2:37. We’ll talk at home 3:08. You’re too young to think about this 3:36. SUMMARY. The correct phrase is “You need to listen to your parents.” This helps the child develop critical thinking and a healthy distrust of strangers.. The correct phrase is “Tell me what’s bothering you.” Or “Why are you crying?” If the child falls or gets bruised, say “Are you crying because it hurts or you’re frightened?” This will provoke a conversation which will help the child identify their emotions.. “Would you let this boy play with your toy for a while?” or “Maybe you want to exchange toys for a while?” Give your child an opportunity to manage their things themselves. If the child is against sharing, then do not insist.. The correct phrase is “Why did you do that?” This will help you find out whether the child did it themselves or upon someone’s encouragement. Always give children the opportunity to explain their actions.. Comparing him with others negatively affects the child’s self-esteem, making them think they will never achieve anything. The correct phrase is “I love you. You can do this, too.” Point out your child’s abilities, and show that you believe in him. Remember that every child is unique and has their own talents.. The correct phrase is “Let me tell you what upset me.” Hearing your point of view, your children will learn to take your feelings into account when pondering their future actions.. The correct phrase is “I’m not ready to answer now. I need some time.” Do not dismiss the child. If they ask you a question, try to answer it. This way you will remain an authority in their eyes and will never lose their trust.. #parentingtips #childproblem #parentsfail.

We’ve all heard “She made me do it”, “It’s not my fault”, and ” I forgot”. These are all excuses so we do not have to take responsibility for our actions. Well, it’s time we start owning what we do and taking responsibility for our actions.. We have three simple things that you can do to stop making excuses: 1) Own Your Part step back, look at what happened, and own your part in it. You are you and that’s you doing that.. 2) Cause & Effect Everything we do causes something to happen. Make choices that have positive outcomes. Not negative ones.. 3) Solve The Problem If we take a look at what happened, I bet there was a better way to handle it that had a better outcome. Practice solving the problem, before it becomes a problem.. We bring character, mindset, and life-skill learning videos to the classroom and the home.

Children Should Avoid Bringing Certain Items to School Snacks for the Class. You might think it is a nice gesture to bring a treat to share on that first day, but it’s Toys. A lovey stashed in a backpack for a touch of home is probably OK, but you don’t want to let your child bring in Any Type. Because students often need various school-related items, it is important to know whether certain items or products pose any harmful risks. For example, over the years there have been important recalls on school-related items, such as BPA-lined plastic containers, clothing with drawstrings, non-insulated lunch boxes, and so on.
Children in the United States are negotiating the transition from home to school at younger ages than was true even a decade ago. Most children’s initial exposure to a school-like setting used to occur when they entered kindergarten or first grad. With the start of a new school year, a lot needs to happen so that students can learn and thrive without raising the risk of spreading COVID-19. The goal of having children attend school in person-which is how they learn best-will only be safe when a community has the spread of the virus under control. A child that is hyperactive throughout the day, even after exercise, may have some issues with their diet.
Many kids bring sugary snacks to school in their lunchboxes. Some parents even allow sodas to be consumed during the school day. Kids are smaller and may be more sensitive to the effects of sugar. This information is intended for child care programs that remain open, and should be used in conjunction with CDC’s guidance for administrators of child care programs and K-12 schools. This guidance does not supersede state and local laws and policies for child.
The absence of snacks at school or choosing unhealthy items to snack on can have a major impact on various aspects of your child’s health. Children need a steady supply of nutrients to fuel their. The program regulations allow schools to elect to extend this permission to elementary and junior high school children as well.
This means that high school children may decline as many as two of the five items in a food-based lunch, and younger children may decline one or two items depending on local policy. Items such as ear buds, locker-room towels, sports jerseys and helmets, and baseball gloves should also be off-limits for sharing. With younger children, it. If your child has a severe food allergy, it is important to develop a management plan with your family doctor, the school, teacher and class.
The school or early childhood setting will notify other parents or carers if certain food or drinks need to be kept.
List of related literature:
Food and snacks in these children’s classrooms may have to be restricted to items without the allergenic substance.
Discussions with school-age children might include situations encountered at school or parties, such as choosing food in the cafeteria or bringing substitute treats to parties.
For example, the principal would make sure they had lunch, provide them with the means to get items they needed for school, and, in some cases, supply the items that were needed.
Backpacks; books; papers; cell phones, pagers, and other hand-held devices; purses; briefcases; tissues; candy or cough drops; beverage bottles or cups; “lucky charms”; and so forth, must be left outside the classroom.
In both the American and Italian schools, the children attempted to evade this rule by bringing small, personal objects that they could conceal in their pockets.
Kutluk Oktay, MD, FACOG is one of the world's foremost experts in fertility preservation as well as ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization for infertility treatments. He developed and performed the world's first ovarian transplantation procedures as well as pioneered new ovarian stimulation protocols for embryo and oocyte freezing for breast and endometrial cancer patients.
As a kid I was naturally risk averse, despite having as much leeway as any kid, so I didn’t do most of these things, but I can tell you, 9 times out of 10 honest communication and basic safety measures will be all you really need. Kid wants to ride their bike? Give them a helmet, ask them who they’ll be with and tell them when dinner will be. That remaining 1 is restricted to situations you know for a fact are beyond their ability to handle on their own in a critical way. Know there’s a Mountain Lion in the area? Now’s the time to keep them inside the yard. That’s where the whole “Parent and Guardian” part comes in.
Honestly my only worry is that some twit will go and treat stuff like this as a check list to force on their kids. Which is missing the point just as hard as bubble-wrapping your kids but in the complete opposite direction.
So stupid And it didn’t get into my heat. So if a baby was born dead.. its his fault? He has nothing to do in it.. Sorry but there is a place to stop.. sometimes Its not your fault.
5:32 yells at me for 20 minutes cries “you have no reason to cry some kids actually do” cannot control crying “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about”
The only explosions in science that I witnessed in high school was when our teacher snuck in some white phosphorus and exposed it to air in a small control box, best teacher but so sad that we can’t do anything fun in science
A lot if people won’t like this but here it is. I grew up in Maine. I come from a family of fishermen, hunters and gun activists. I’ve been around guns my whole life. I remember being three years old and having this explained to me “this rifle is not a toy, it is a tool. It is a dangerous tool. If I ever catch you playing with it, or aiming it at any human being I will wrap it around your neck like a bow tie” might sound bad but it only made me better and made me respect it. I also have guns in my home. Needless to say they are put up and away. But… I have told my children the same “this is not a toy, it is a tool and it can kill” It seems to be that if you don’t explain things and keep them hidden they can be more dangerous. I know that if my daughter or son goes to a friends house and that friend pulls their dads gun out of their sock drawer, they know that it’s not a toy, it’s not fun and it can kill. That can save their lives and someone else’s.
Hey guys, if you & your kids are watching this, I’d like to tell you about my little kids book(I’m an at-home senior grandparent)called 365 KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES(by R. Myers). It’s funny & kinda cute. I think kids(& grownups as well) might like it. In any case, best of luck, thanks for reading & please STAY SAFE!!!
Okay so I’ll get hate for this comment but I don’t agree with this man… I’ve done 4 of the 5 things he encouraged children to do (I haven’t exploded stuff in a bag) but I’m still VERY thankful my mom stressed me about kidnapping and drugs and stranger danger. And maybe it’s because the fear of those things are engraved in my mind that I agree with them, but like he asked, I know how to swim, I know how to pay attention when cars are around, I know how to take care of myself etc etc… I am taking this on the first degree but, does this man think that teaching children how to swim is more helpful and deserves more time spent than teaching children not everyone is friendly and benevolent? Doesn’t this man know that, stranger danger and kidnapping and those things can lead to trauma which then can lead to suicide? The fourth most recurrent cause of death as he mentioned? It doesn’t take much time to teach a child to swim as much as it takes time to teach them about the bad parts of society and drugs etc… I think I may have blankly concluded this video, but I don’t agree. If I do have a child, yes I’ll let them walk to school (cause that’s what I’ve always done) I’ll let them climb trees, I’ll let them burn stuff with magnifying glasses (it’s pretty fun XD), I’ll let them do chemical experiences and I’ll let them glue their fingers together. But how does that EDUCATE them? “You learn by making mistakes” yes, but how many mistakes can you make when the mistake comes from “stranger danger”, “kidnapping” and “(i don’t remember what he said at the beginning)”. You glue your fingers once = you know what it’s like to have a free hand and become creative with a handicap. You get kidnapped once because your parents didn’t teach you about it, instead they preferred mastering your skills in swimming = what do you get from that? OKAY well go ahead and lick a 9V battery= nothing will happen, although, as a young child, “batteries can’t kill me, alright then what about this plug in the wall?” I’m sorry I sound hateful but please take care of your children properly!
Wow how true……looking back at my childhood……at 5 put on the tank of a motorcycle and taken over off road courses. It terrified me! Years later in my teens full of trepidation i built a junk bike out of bits i found. I spent the next 40 years riding hundreds of thousands of miles on many many bikes i built still with great respect but with skill, fast and safe. An those engineering skills learned at an early age later on in life I used to build an engineering company that sells world wide. At 11 or 12 i was allowed with a friend to take a 14 day cycling holiday over 400 miles from home camping just us two 12 year olds in the UK in the early 70s! How weird is that. That independence and self confidence has stayed with me to this day, no mobile phones existed so we phoned home in the middle of the two weeks! From being allowed to build tree houses 20 foot up to playing with electricity in the back of old TVs and radios……plugged in! By the time I was 14 I had 3 part time jobs (still had to go to school) and at 16 had bought repaired and sold for profit old motorbikes so that I could afford a super moped on the road, I learned about selling. Every weekend was spent camping 100s of miles form home with mates. Looking back those years before 16 I made mistakes of course but lessons learned were for life. All of this was self funded………just like life…..and thats a life lesson the earlier learnt the better. I have 3 kids, a brought them up the same attitude, you just do it, have a go…whats the worst that can happen! Without the 2 week holiday alone at 12 and the live TVs I must admit. But they are all in their 20s independent thinkers making their own ways in life. Dont over protect your kids!
There is one mistake that every parent do and that is don’t help them with their feelings as a kid i now that when I always to dry and take of my depress they always said to keep quite and also i don’t that my parents are bad i love them with all of my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and of course every kids love their parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
mom and dad would let me and my sis climb almost everything as long as it is not illegal my neighbor mom would not let them we were all good friends and still are to this day i am a pro rock climber who can live on the mountain for days and they still cant handle a knife
Chinese kids get the same gory details with history, and there’s so much to tell, like 5000 years. Chinese parents really dont censor historical or war dramas that have lots of blood and war, only the H types are censored in china. So i grew up used to blood and war on TV, never thought they need pg. Public schools play war videos every year too, and take kids to museums with gory pictures….u get used to it….lol
My dad grew up in rural China during the 1970s and he and his friends would swim in rivers, play in mud, and ride on water buffalo. Kinda wish I could have the same experience to be honest lol, instead of being stuck at home all day.
3 weeks 4 days preggo. Live in US and LOVE Japan. Especially their parenting and schooling methods. Learning as much as I can from them before the little one comes
I’ve heard this story about some indigenous South American tribe living somewhere in the Amazon rainforest and about their outlook on raising children. So if a child climbs up a tree it shouldn’t be helped to get back down. Because if it can’t do it on its own without getting oneself killed or seriously injured, this child was apparently a flawed specimen that just wouldn’t be able to take care of itself and wouldn’t make it anyway and keeping it alive would just be a waste of priceless time, energy and scarce resources. So I guess those guys figured out how the natural selection works and are taking it very seriously.
Haha. I almost set the house on fire with a magnifying glass. XD I set some hay on fire in the flower bed, but I stamped it out before it got any bigger than a single tongue of fire.
My mama never cared about me so I know no one cares about me, I’ve been depressed sense my best friend moved from school and my mama was happy about that happening, and she thinks that I’m depressed because of looking at screens,that isint the reason, the reason is cuz my best friend moved from school and I miss her, I’ve always been neglected and whenever I try say something like “You like my sister more than me” she just says I’m lying when I’m not at all I’m just trying to say how I feel. I also think if anyone sees his comments no one will care it’s not like anyone cares about me in real life
My mom forced me to tell her every single crush I’ve ever had. She also forced me to tell her one of my passwords. She says “because I’m curious” and “because I’m your mother”. She doesn’t want me to tell my best friends ANYTHING without telling her first. I tell her about something I don’t like that she says or does and it’s like she gets mad at me. Idk what to do…
My twin brother can’t talk and I always upset because they don’t understand what are they doing and they always broke everything in our house like tv, electric fan, fridge, broke glass cabinet until pieces and always jump on sofa,chair,short wood cabinet and table.And they always call everyone that they’re met……………mommy.☺️
There are more things that you don’t have to know.
When you don’t get something your parents get and you ask them why, they shouldn’t say because I’m special that makes the child feel like they’re not special. I don’t know what they should say but if a child asks why you get chips and they don’t you never say because I’m special!
My mom knew all the right traits or raising me. She allowed me to express my emotions, comfort me when I’m down, or encourage me when I want to follow my dreams. I will raise my children like how my mother did.
I’m allowed to do all of these things. I’ve been climbing trees for years, and I have never broken a bone with tree climbing. I have, however, broken my arm on the playground. Hmmmmmmmm.
apparently, there are similarities of Japan parenting here in the Philippines.
we take a bath and sleep with parents too. we walk/ride to and from school alone. breakfast isn’t as emphasized and we’re not concerned with noise. if anything, we just laugh and talk whenever and however we want. although, i adore quiet-in-public people like in HongKong. less noise pollution.
we have less bullying hereand suicide is almost nonexistent.
i’d say spanking didn’t dampen kids’ joy and respect for elderly is very present. getting spanked by parents is normal.
kudos to all parents who love their kids so much, cares and spends time with them.
what type of parent doesn’t let their child climb a tree? I’m so glad my parents are the way that they are. I’ve been riding dirt bikes and go karts since i was 4. i’ve gotten 5 concussions and my mom get worried when i do dangerous things but she doesn’t stop me, and my dad encourages it. they let me go out whenever i want but i still ask for permission and stay out of trouble because i don’t want to lose that freedom and trust. it’s that simple
From my experience it’s that parents don’t place the kids as a priority….they work their guts out and have no real time to set aside for the kids they have. Work your guts out AND THEN have the kids so you provide the world with decent people. A side effect is you won’t need to listen to others telling you how to do what comes naturally. It’s not a skill you will learn properly. Too many cooks blah blah. And those that get caught and don’t abort…….same but harder. It’s all doable.Just go on instinct.
Children are losing their lives in by wasting their lifetime in front of a tv or a video-game. Batteries, electric sockets, trees and houses in some tree, long long walks in city and different private fields, burning everything with sun, making from soda volcanoes to fireworks and rockets and, of course, gluing my fingers again and again. Such a childhood I had!
This video also depends on ur situation tho. In many places a child is very likely to be abducted while walking to school. Also one of my friends shattered his face while climbing a tree at my other friends house
I am a smart kid whenever my parents/grandparents told me that it was dangerous deadly and stuff I thought how the f*** is this dangerous so I did it they got confused when 60% of the times I didn’t get injured
Many parents disapline their kids in public. When was the last time I saw a parent hit a kid in public instead of letting their kid cry for ever and ever cos kids are allowed to do what they want when they want where they want and how they want.
wish my parents knew this earlier, I was only allowed to cross the road on my own at 14 and go home on public transport at 15/16. still can’t go from home alone and I’m pushing 17
First of all Japanese society is homogenized, the US is diverse, I would rarely agree with, it takes a village approach. Traditions, stories and values are wonderful, unfortunately here the kid is undermined when sent to school. Yes respect others but be wary, we don’t live in a nice world. When I was young parents were expected to correct their kids, nip whatever it is in the bud, today yes you have to discipline in private due to the busybodies that will have you arrested or intervene.
I remember one summer where my family would vacation a lot and I had a long walk down this road to get to the swimming pool. One time there was this massive dog that was not on a leash and when it noticed me walking by it started trotting towards me and I took off running (I was really fast) yelling HELLLLPP! After 50 yards I glanced back and that damn dog wasn’t anywhere. He and his pack were probably laughing together about the scaredy cat boy on the way to the pool. After that, I learned NEVER show fear to a dog and if you think a dog is hostile you NEVER back down and NEVER take your eyes off them. And they will almost always realize YOU are not to be messed with. Only certain breeds bred for fighting like pitbulls do I make an exception for and climb a fence or I happen to be carrying licensed concealed carry my pistol. I love dogs but the last two I have had are female as I only like ONE alpha under the same roof and that’s me. LOL
I think parents should have a change in parenting methods in America cause We need change so are future will be better and our kids will have more respect for themselves and others
As a kid I was naturally risk averse, despite having as much leeway as any kid, so I didn’t do most of these things, but I can tell you, 9 times out of 10 honest communication and basic safety measures will be all you really need. Kid wants to ride their bike? Give them a helmet, ask them who they’ll be with and tell them when dinner will be.

Honestly my only worry is that some twit will go and treat stuff like this as a check list to force on their kids. Which is missing the point just as hard as bubble-wrapping your kids but in the complete opposite direction.
So stupid And it didn’t get into my heat. So if a baby was born dead.. its his fault? He has nothing to do in it..
Sorry but there is a place to stop.. sometimes Its not your fault.
5:32
yells at me for 20 minutes
cries
“you have no reason to cry some kids actually do”
cannot control crying
“stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about”
The only explosions in science that I witnessed in high school was when our teacher snuck in some white phosphorus and exposed it to air in a small control box, best teacher but so sad that we can’t do anything fun in science
A lot if people won’t like this but here it is. I grew up in Maine. I come from a family of fishermen, hunters and gun activists. I’ve been around guns my whole life. I remember being three years old and having this explained to me “this rifle is not a toy, it is a tool. It is a dangerous tool. If I ever catch you playing with it, or aiming it at any human being I will wrap it around your neck like a bow tie” might sound bad but it only made me better and made me respect it. I also have guns in my home. Needless to say they are put up and away. But… I have told my children the same “this is not a toy, it is a tool and it can kill” It seems to be that if you don’t explain things and keep them hidden they can be more dangerous. I know that if my daughter or son goes to a friends house and that friend pulls their dads gun out of their sock drawer, they know that it’s not a toy, it’s not fun and it can kill. That can save their lives and someone else’s.
Hey guys, if you & your kids are watching this, I’d like to tell you about my little kids book(I’m an at-home senior grandparent)called 365 KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES(by R. Myers). It’s funny & kinda cute. I think kids(& grownups as well) might like it. In any case, best of luck, thanks for reading & please STAY SAFE!!!
Okay so I’ll get hate for this comment but I don’t agree with this man… I’ve done 4 of the 5 things he encouraged children to do (I haven’t exploded stuff in a bag) but I’m still VERY thankful my mom stressed me about kidnapping and drugs and stranger danger. And maybe it’s because the fear of those things are engraved in my mind that I agree with them, but like he asked, I know how to swim, I know how to pay attention when cars are around, I know how to take care of myself etc etc… I am taking this on the first degree but, does this man think that teaching children how to swim is more helpful and deserves more time spent than teaching children not everyone is friendly and benevolent? Doesn’t this man know that, stranger danger and kidnapping and those things can lead to trauma which then can lead to suicide? The fourth most recurrent cause of death as he mentioned? It doesn’t take much time to teach a child to swim as much as it takes time to teach them about the bad parts of society and drugs etc… I think I may have blankly concluded this video, but I don’t agree. If I do have a child, yes I’ll let them walk to school (cause that’s what I’ve always done) I’ll let them climb trees, I’ll let them burn stuff with magnifying glasses (it’s pretty fun XD), I’ll let them do chemical experiences and I’ll let them glue their fingers together. But how does that EDUCATE them? “You learn by making mistakes” yes, but how many mistakes can you make when the mistake comes from “stranger danger”, “kidnapping” and “(i don’t remember what he said at the beginning)”. You glue your fingers once = you know what it’s like to have a free hand and become creative with a handicap. You get kidnapped once because your parents didn’t teach you about it, instead they preferred mastering your skills in swimming = what do you get from that? OKAY well go ahead and lick a 9V battery= nothing will happen, although, as a young child, “batteries can’t kill me, alright then what about this plug in the wall?” I’m sorry I sound hateful but please take care of your children properly!
Wow how true……looking back at my childhood……at 5 put on the tank of a motorcycle and taken over off road courses. It terrified me! Years later in my teens full of trepidation i built a junk bike out of bits i found. I spent the next 40 years riding hundreds of thousands of miles on many many bikes i built still with great respect but with skill, fast and safe. An those engineering skills learned at an early age later on in life I used to build an engineering company that sells world wide. At 11 or 12 i was allowed with a friend to take a 14 day cycling holiday over 400 miles from home camping just us two 12 year olds in the UK in the early 70s! How weird is that. That independence and self confidence has stayed with me to this day, no mobile phones existed so we phoned home in the middle of the two weeks! From being allowed to build tree houses 20 foot up to playing with electricity in the back of old TVs and radios……plugged in! By the time I was 14 I had 3 part time jobs (still had to go to school) and at 16 had bought repaired and sold for profit old motorbikes so that I could afford a super moped on the road, I learned about selling. Every weekend was spent camping 100s of miles form home with mates. Looking back those years before 16 I made mistakes of course but lessons learned were for life. All of this was self funded………just like life…..and thats a life lesson the earlier learnt the better. I have 3 kids, a brought them up the same attitude, you just do it, have a go…whats the worst that can happen! Without the 2 week holiday alone at 12 and the live TVs I must admit. But they are all in their 20s independent thinkers making their own ways in life. Dont over protect your kids!
There is one mistake that every parent do and that is don’t help them with their feelings as a kid i now that when I always to dry and take of my depress they always said to keep quite and also i don’t that my parents are bad i love them with all of my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and of course every kids love their parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
mom and dad would let me and my sis climb almost everything as long as it is not illegal my neighbor mom would not let them we were all good friends and still are to this day i am a pro rock climber who can live on the mountain for days and they still cant handle a knife
Chinese kids get the same gory details with history, and there’s so much to tell, like 5000 years. Chinese parents really dont censor historical or war dramas that have lots of blood and war, only the H types are censored in china. So i grew up used to blood and war on TV, never thought they need pg. Public schools play war videos every year too, and take kids to museums with gory pictures….u get used to it….lol
I think that your ways are to soft and wrong for instance when you compare a kid whit another kid they will try to be better than the other kid
My dad grew up in rural China during the 1970s and he and his friends would swim in rivers, play in mud, and ride on water buffalo. Kinda wish I could have the same experience to be honest lol, instead of being stuck at home all day.
3 weeks 4 days preggo. Live in US and LOVE Japan. Especially their parenting and schooling methods. Learning as much as I can from them before the little one comes
I’ve heard this story about some indigenous South American tribe living somewhere in the Amazon rainforest and about their outlook on raising children. So if a child climbs up a tree it shouldn’t be helped to get back down. Because if it can’t do it on its own without getting oneself killed or seriously injured, this child was apparently a flawed specimen that just wouldn’t be able to take care of itself and wouldn’t make it anyway and keeping it alive would just be a waste of priceless time, energy and scarce resources. So I guess those guys figured out how the natural selection works and are taking it very seriously.
Haha. I almost set the house on fire with a magnifying glass. XD
I set some hay on fire in the flower bed, but I stamped it out before it got any bigger than a single tongue of fire.
When ur parents are like: TELL ME YOUR SECRETS. DONT HIDE THINGS FROM ME.
Me: Mom,some things I write in my diary are secrets. Someone has rights to keep things to themselves
Here’s advice for kids watching: wait until you grow up and then you can make your own decisions and no more parents bossing you around!:)
My mama never cared about me so I know no one cares about me, I’ve been depressed sense my best friend moved from school and my mama was happy about that happening, and she thinks that I’m depressed because of looking at screens,that isint the reason, the reason is cuz my best friend moved from school and I miss her, I’ve always been neglected and whenever I try say something like “You like my sister more than me” she just says I’m lying when I’m not at all I’m just trying to say how I feel. I also think if anyone sees his comments no one will care it’s not like anyone cares about me in real life
My mom forced me to tell her every single crush I’ve ever had. She also forced me to tell her one of my passwords. She says “because I’m curious” and “because I’m your mother”.
She doesn’t want me to tell my best friends ANYTHING without telling her first. I tell her about something I don’t like that she says or does and it’s like she gets mad at me.
Idk what to do…
My twin brother can’t talk and I always upset because they don’t understand what are they doing and they always broke everything in our house like tv, electric fan, fridge, broke glass cabinet until pieces and always jump on sofa,chair,short wood cabinet and table.And they always call everyone that they’re met……………mommy.☺️
There are more things that you don’t have to know.
When you don’t get something your parents get and you ask them why, they shouldn’t say because I’m special that makes the child feel like they’re not special. I don’t know what they should say but if a child asks why you get chips and they don’t you never say because I’m special!
My mom knew all the right traits or raising me. She allowed me to express my emotions, comfort me when I’m down, or encourage me when I want to follow my dreams. I will raise my children like how my mother did.
I’m allowed to do all of these things. I’ve been climbing trees for years, and I have never broken a bone with tree climbing. I have, however, broken my arm on the playground. Hmmmmmmmm.
wow.
thanks for these insights.
apparently, there are similarities of Japan parenting here in the Philippines.
we take a bath and sleep with parents too.
we walk/ride to and from school alone.
breakfast isn’t as emphasized and we’re not concerned with noise.
if anything, we just laugh and talk whenever and however we want.
although, i adore quiet-in-public people like in HongKong.
less noise pollution.
we have less bullying hereand suicide is almost nonexistent.
i’d say spanking didn’t dampen kids’ joy and respect for elderly is very present.
getting spanked by parents is normal.
kudos to all parents who love their kids so much, cares and spends time with them.
what type of parent doesn’t let their child climb a tree? I’m so glad my parents are the way that they are. I’ve been riding dirt bikes and go karts since i was 4. i’ve gotten 5 concussions and my mom get worried when i do dangerous things but she doesn’t stop me, and my dad encourages it. they let me go out whenever i want but i still ask for permission and stay out of trouble because i don’t want to lose that freedom and trust. it’s that simple
From my experience it’s that parents don’t place the kids as a priority….they work their guts out and have no real time to set aside for the kids they have. Work your guts out AND THEN have the kids so you provide the world with decent people. A side effect is you won’t need to listen to others telling you how to do what comes naturally. It’s not a skill you will learn properly. Too many cooks blah blah. And those that get caught and don’t abort…….same but harder. It’s all doable.Just go on instinct.
Children are losing their lives in by wasting their lifetime in front of a tv or a video-game. Batteries, electric sockets, trees and houses in some tree, long long walks in city and different private fields, burning everything with sun, making from soda volcanoes to fireworks and rockets and, of course, gluing my fingers again and again. Such a childhood I had!
This video also depends on ur situation tho. In many places a child is very likely to be abducted while walking to school. Also one of my friends shattered his face while climbing a tree at my other friends house
I am a smart kid whenever my parents/grandparents told me that it was dangerous deadly and stuff I thought how the f*** is this dangerous so I did it they got confused when 60% of the times I didn’t get injured
Many parents disapline their kids in public. When was the last time I saw a parent hit a kid in public instead of letting their kid cry for ever and ever cos kids are allowed to do what they want when they want where they want and how they want.
wish my parents knew this earlier, I was only allowed to cross the road on my own at 14 and go home on public transport at 15/16. still can’t go from home alone and I’m pushing 17
First of all Japanese society is homogenized, the US is diverse, I would rarely agree with, it takes a village approach. Traditions, stories and values are wonderful, unfortunately here the kid is undermined when sent to school. Yes respect others but be wary, we don’t live in a nice world. When I was young parents were expected to correct their kids, nip whatever it is in the bud, today yes you have to discipline in private due to the busybodies that will have you arrested or intervene.
I remember one summer where my family would vacation a lot and I had a long walk down this road to get to the swimming pool. One time there was this massive dog that was not on a leash and when it noticed me walking by it started trotting towards me and I took off running (I was really fast) yelling HELLLLPP! After 50 yards I glanced back and that damn dog wasn’t anywhere. He and his pack were probably laughing together about the scaredy cat boy on the way to the pool. After that, I learned NEVER show fear to a dog and if you think a dog is hostile you NEVER back down and NEVER take your eyes off them. And they will almost always realize YOU are not to be messed with. Only certain breeds bred for fighting like pitbulls do I make an exception for and climb a fence or I happen to be carrying licensed concealed carry my pistol. I love dogs but the last two I have had are female as I only like ONE alpha under the same roof and that’s me. LOL
I think parents should have a change in parenting methods in America cause We need change so are future will be better and our kids will have more respect for themselves and others
