My name is Yurika Matsuyama. I have learned that the one thing that most American mothers expect their children from an early age is to be self-reliant. American moms encourage their children to discover the world on their own, and to create their own views of life by playing with other children. And personally, I felt that it is very important that the children will become responsible people by this childrearing method. I think that this childrearing style is not only for American mothers but also for Japanese mothers.
Japanese mothers expect their children to be self-reliant, too.
My name is Yuko Maeda. I have learned that American moms expect a lot from their children from an early age. And personally, I felt that her style is good. But I guess sometimes they should pay more attention to the child. I think that the Japanese style can spoil children but not always.
