china, korea, common in circumstances in japan and parenting
china, childcare support measures in the republic of korea

in china has become the one-child policy of the country by. the downward trend in the birthrate in japan and south korea on the other hand, number of children has decreased. china and, japan, south korea, its background, but the difference, as a result, the children are growing up in small human relations.

lack of communication between people, is self-centered, interaction of mind and heart can be difficult, to complement the shortcomings of such children, in china, a child love with an emphasis on education to teach, will be transferred to a practice folded. in the minds of children, along with the feeling that is loved by yourself, stand aside for nature appreciation and care for others feelings, to specific practices such report was very impressed. we will be able to learn a lot from such attempts.

also, south korea, fly to the future child support, for the purposes of the one that, ministries to work together beyond, support measures to create a parenting, have been working as a nation. fine-grained measures to support diverse, economic assistance was particularly impressive and powerful.

also, in china, men often do the housework, and especially children can, that do are willing to talk about, such as parenting, was taken with a little surprise.

among young children is, better do it well beside a good mother and the idea of, is also seen in the younger generation tend not to focus so much but it , the opinion was issued, respectively, such as, wish there is a society that advances toward a happy future children and adults alike.

future of japan in child support

in japan, in addition to financial support for parenting, 2i think that kind of support is needed. and support for balancing work and family, child support for parenting is isolated at home. as support for balancing the, from the importance of parents spend with children, and the expansion of parental leave, such as south korea, for parents with children, system such as working from home that work to penetrate both permanent and short time is desirable.

also, as child support is, as was stated nakahashi of the university teacher, like me watching a parent and a child wrapped in a warm, field can do around the neighborhood is desirable is.

the future, in china is the only child2generation, 3in subsequent generations, as children will grow up spiritually rich education by fostering a love, and in japan and south korea, more children born, i hope that as their children while under the watchful eye can be gently from society. to see you this time we also, that the aer report the appearance of subsequent children happy in their respective countries, we are looking forward to from now.
