The difference between American children and Japanese children - complete

1.     Introduction　

In this summer, I went to Minnesota in America as the overseas training. Before I go to there, I was so nervous and afraid to go to country where I have never been. But before I go to there, I found which house I can go. And in that family, there are 3 children. I like children, so I thought this host family seems good for me. In Minnesota, I could play with my host brother and their friends who live in neighbor, and I could interchange with many children at several places just like in the house, at school, at kinder garden, and so on. At them, I could spend a good time. But I thought for several things. There are something difference in between American children and Japanese children. They have a different culture, so we can understand there are different, so this time, I will show you the difference between American children and Japanese children through my experience

2.     Fundamental difference

If we say children at a word, it means several generation just like little child, junior high school student, and high school student. And in the dictionary, children means little, and small people. But in this report, I will use a word of children means 5~7 years old. It is because my host brother is 5, 6, 7, years old. And I will match a condition with American children and Japanese children.

          The first, I will write about typical American children and property. There were many differences, just like difference of gastronomic culture, educational system, and environment. But most I want to say is American children always want to do anything. In other words, the volition to things is prosperous in them. And compere with them, Japanese children is passive in several situation. And I will introduce an example. One day, many American children and Japanese children were gathered. And them, they had to fold a paper, and make a paper air plane, and make fry it. The first time, teacher taught how to make it. And they start to make it, and finish. Although it is the same so far, it is from the next that it is different. Compere with Japanese children who is playing complete basic paper plane, American children come and gather around teacher, and say like this. “Please tell me another how to make paper plane. Or, can I fold paper plane freely?” This saying was only American children. Just like this, American children have a strong volition to things. And this difference will come from difference of their everyday life. And I will compare with American children’s everyday life and Japanese children’s everyday life. In this time, I will compare with help of children and playing of children between American children and Japanese children

3.     As help of children

   Most of these age’s children start to help their parents, or for their home. Usually, American children start to help when everyone is 3 years old. It is same with Japanese student. In this age, their parents make them to put away their toys. At the same time, this age begun to have self. So every child doesn’t abhor doing their works. My host brothers have everyday help and special Friday help. And special Friday help is change for a week in them. In my host family’s house, there is a wall what can write their week help, so there were always written their help. These are their everyday help.

【Case of my host family】

・You have to put away in dish washer after you ate

・You have to give Groggy(dog) food

・You have to clean your room

These are their everyday help. After they finished these help, they can get some drops from their mother, and can do something what they want to do. These are only my house’s help, but in another house, there are more another helps. These are example.

【Case of another family】

・You have gather garbage around house, and throw away it in dust box

・You have to take a pet a walk

・You have to take postal matter from post

・You have to clean bath room

・You have to fold your clothes yourself

・You have to help to make meals.

These are many kinds of help at house. And this is a case of American children. Next, I will write down Japanese children’s kinds of help. It is help what most of Japanese parents make it to them child.

【Case of Japanese children】

・You have to check the post

・You have to wash your clothes, fold it, and put away

・You have to run on errands

These helps are most of Japanese children experience. There are no differences so. But after they did helps, there is difference. It is most of American children seem could get some money after they finish the help. Compare with Japan in America, there are no system of spending money. American children often get money by working. This America’s system what get money by working cultivate them will for working, and make them positive. Against it Japanese children have a system of spending money, so volition is diminished.

4.     As play of children

In this situation, there are many differences between American children and Japanese children. In playing, there are many kinds of situation, like outdoor playing, inside playing, game playing, and so on. In my host family’s house, there are many games soft, LEGOs, board game in my house. But my host brothers spent most of time at outside. Usually in Japan, many children play outside, too. In this time, I will write about outside playing. If there is no building what to play they play Japanese traditional game like hide-and-seek, tag. Or go to park. In Japan’s park, there are many playgrounds equipment. But these are something what we know how to play. In America’s park, there is some playgrounds equipment, too. But these are not like playgrounds equipment, and these seems like monument what is created by artist. So, American children have to find their own way. Like this, American child bring up imagination, and become eager to find new how to play. This will is important, and it will be useful in the near future.

5.     Conclusion  

Like this, there are many differences between American children and Japanese children. But finally, American children’s everyday life will connect to their will. At the first in this report, I wrote American children are positive, and Japanese children are not positive. But this tendency is cultivated by everyday life of the early childhood. We are not same so it is natural to be different there. But you may adopt the everyday life like American children. Through this investigation, I realized the difference of an American child and the Japanese child so deeply and was able to know it.
