Parenting Methods Learned from American Moms

I think there are some moms who want to see their children's smiles but are busy with housework and childcare and can't say gentle words.The words a mom use in everyday parenting conversations are important for her child. This time, in the United States, where "independence" is important, I would like to introduce the words that moms often use for their children."I'm listening"A characteristic of American conversation is that even small children speak in their own words in public. In the United States, parents treat their children as "one individual." For breakfast, "What do you want to eat today?", For changing clothes, "What kind of clothes do you wear today?" By asking a few questions in daily life, children value "thinking for themselves". Parents don't give answers when their children don't speak well. Instead, she says, "I'm listening: Mom is listening." Since I was a kid, if my parents didn't listen to my child's feelings and I used words like "I don't like it" or "I don't like mommy", she knows her feelings. If you think she won't give you an adult, she's likely to become a rebellious child, so be careful."I'm proud of you"In America, when a child does something well and succeeds, she often praises her with the words "I'm proud of you." When a child does his best to do housework, when he gets a good score in school grades, when he goes shopping with his neighbors, and when he meets his child, he says, "A child who can always help mom." When you are praised, if you smile and say "I'm proud of you" to your child, you will think that your child also likes moms and will continue to grow. Americans are good at complimenting people, regardless of age. It's normal to say "Good" or "Nice" in everyday conversation, and she's used to being praised by American children."You are loved"In the United States, it is a culture of hugging children and kissing their foreheads and heads regardless of age. It is a daily occurrence for parents to say "I love you" to their children. Every day, when moms say "I love you" to their children, they will feel "I love you" every day. She may hug her tightly while saying "I love you!" If at the end of the day you realize, "I haven't said I love you even once today," it's different to say it once at that time. Every day, I save my favorite savings in my child's mind. It's nice to show your child your "love", but some moms may find it embarrassing to say it by mouth. Let's do our best and say it like an American mom!
