Problem / Need advice

We are senior moms and dads and look forward to your kind-hearted comments.

My daughter started summer school at Nikkei this summer.
She is 3 years old and this is her first time in kindergarten and she is very naughty, so on the first day she had to leave the classroom.
She looked very stressed about it and the teacher nailed me and told me to be sure to tell her at home. I know it was hard, but it was said in the same way as the first and second days. \I know she is tired and I know she is bothering my daughter 😞
but I am depressed because I wonder if this teacher will be okay and I am worried about sending my daughter there in the future.
I don't think she is a bad teacher, but when I go to pick her up, all she says is negative things again, that she is bothering my daughter, and that she is trying her best to teach her things at home, but it's not going well.
My father speaks English at home, so I usually do my best to teach her Japanese, but she still seems to have more difficulty communicating with me than with other children who speak only one language.

The teacher seems mature and very kind, but she says, "It was like this, so let's work together to get used to it while getting support at home again!" I am worried because it is not a positive feeling like that.
I felt so much annoyance that I couldn't stop crying after returning home. I'm worried about my daughter, who is just a rambunctious little thing, going to kindergarten, and I'm skeptical about leaving it in the hands of the teachers.
I heard that this kindergarten has had many problems, but my friends' children go there, and it didn't seem so bad when we visited, so it's even worse.
I know this sounds like I'm still a newbie, but have any of you had this experience?

You are human and so is your teacher.
There will be times when your feelings will come out. If you are anxious and stressed, it would be better to change kindergartens. If you are the cause of the problem, it is likely that the same thing will happen the next time you go there. You should face yourself then.
If there is no problem, the next kindergarten may be fine ?
If the parents force their child to go to a day kindergarten and the child does not like it, it is not good for the child's education. Please make sure that you give your child the best education "for his/her own good".
Please do your best and do not stress too much.

I am also a mother of a 2 year old son.
As a parent who will eventually send my son to kindergarten, I understand Cat's feelings.
Let's do our best together ! I wish the teacher would say something positive.
However, since this is America, you should not expect as much from a Japanese kindergarten as you do from a kindergarten in Japan, no matter how Japanese-American it may be.
Also, I don't recommend you to ask for advice here, because you will only get beaten up.
I think you will get better advice from experienced people if you write in the information board.

did you send your child to a kindergarten in Japan

It is very possible if he is 3 years oldーー ! And I think the fact that he can leave the classroom is a problem for the school ?
Opening and closing the door is dangerous for a small child, and I think it is also a problem that he can easily leave the classroom. Even if you tell them at home, I don't think a 3 year old child will understand what you mean unless you warn them at the time.
I think it is the teacher's job to repeat the story to your child right then and there.

I wonder if the teacher has any parenting experience ?

I feel sorry for Cat. That teacher is a failure.

It is the fault of the childcare provider that the child leaves the classroom. That's no excuse for a child being active or anything like that. For 3 year olds, depending on the number of children, there will be one or two assistant teachers in addition to the homeroom teacher. I was not paying attention to the whole classroom. I was not paying attention to the whole classroom.
How can you say with such bravado that your child is doing this to you … and that you are in over your head?
Even when it comes to lunchboxes, it is the first time for a child to live in a group, and nursery school teachers know that sometimes children mess with other children's lunchboxes, but it is their job to handle it and provide guidance.
And if the child has only been going to the school for a short period of time, it is even worse.
It's not the child's fault. It's just that the childcare workers who don't have a good grasp of the child and can't handle the child are inexperienced.
Childcare workers are supposed to watch the children, deal with the parents, and cooperate with the parents …. It's no good if they have an attitude.

One way is to see how it goes until they get used to it, or talk to the director.

Children are a handful. It's rare to find a child who is good from the beginning, who can do everything and listen to you.
They learn and grow with the help of various people.

I am really sorry for your loss.

I agree with you vehemently. All children are curious and honest in their actions,
and they may feel that they are a problem or a hardship because of the adults' one-sided view or convenience, but there is no such thing as a problematic child.
Everything is a judgment based on the convenience of adults !

Even behavior that adults define as problematic has its own meaning.

> #37 Behavior that adults define as problematic has its own meaning.
You are so right.

All children don't act like it's wrong. Especially on the first or second day, they don't know much about the park, so they do what comes to mind. If it's wrong, the teacher or parents should just tell them. There is no need to get angry. If you teach it properly, the child will learn. Some children learn only after being taught once, while others learn only after being taught several times. Kindergarten teachers should understand this and deal with it.
What did the teachers at the Japanese kindergarten that Topy's child attends respond to his problematic behavior?

The teacher also needs to be able to communicate with the parents. Many children are living in a group away from their parents for the first time if they are in preschool, so children may be anxious at first, and parents who leave their children with them are also worried and anxious. 、、、、 Teachers who have the heart to understand such parents' feelings are very popular.

After reporting the child to the parents, the teacher also reported how the preschool handled the situation and said, "Please talk with your child about this at home. & I think it is necessary to encourage the anxious parent by saying, "Please talk about this with your child at home as well, and let's support him or her at home so that he or she can adjust to kindergarten quickly.

The principal should guide the teacher who only reports to the parents full of annoyance.
However, some children have ADHD or Asperger's and have a little difficulty living in groups. In such cases, it is necessary for both the preschool and the parents to seek professional advice at an early stage and take appropriate measures for the child. In the case of a new child, it is difficult for parents to realize that their child has a developmental disability, so I think the role of the teacher is important in this sense as well.

My son was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 5. When I was feeling the difficulties of raising a child, I was 4 years old when a friend of mine who had a child the same age as mine took care of her child during the birth of her second child. I was shocked at how easily he communicated and how markedly different he was from my own child, and for the first time I began to think that my own child might be 。。。。 and we consulted a pediatrician and then a psychologist. After more than 3 hours of observing our child's behavior in kindergarten, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 5. But as it turned out, I am glad we found out about it early. Because by the time he entered elementary school, we already had the support of Special ED.

By no means am I saying that your tope child has it, but if there is even a small chance of that as a parent, you shouldn't overlook it.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but there was a time when I was quite worried that my son couldn't sit up at all and would run around and hide under the table wherever we went, even in restaurants.
He is still 5 years old and is still rather violent.
But I try to be positive about it myself.
intense = expressive
and I try to think in a positive way.
This is because of my profession, I often talk to mothers who have finished raising their children and they always taught me this way.
If even the mother can understand her child, the child will understand that too.

Anyway, for a long time, we never raised our hands, yelled at each other, or got mad at each other as a way of disciplining our children. Because what parents do, children can also do in places like kindergarten when parents are not watching. If something happened, I would first talk to them and tell them why, how I was feeling at the time, how they were feeling, etc. I did this. She is now a very expressive child, and even though she keeps moving, she never hurts people, raises violence, or does anything like that. Finally, at the age of five, some parts of her have calmed down. I was told by an older mother that after the age of five, they are surprisingly calm. So anyway, I thought it would be good to accept him in a positive way and to make him think positively about the teacher and the contributor in reverse.

I used to help out as a sub at a kindergarten, but there was one child with ADHD who would go outside by himself or walk around the class and really couldn't stay still, and the teacher had to stay with him the whole time because it was too dangerous to let him out of her sight. I asked the mother to stay in the classroom, but she refused and left everything to the teacher. There were many other children in the class, but I was concentrating only on her. It would have been terrible if an accident had happened. I guess you could call it individuality, but those who take care of them have a lot of responsibility and it's really hard work. I hope they understand that.

I think it is the mother who loves her child the most, so she should do what she wants. I think you should not force your child to go to a preschool where you think there are no good teachers who cannot create good memories, but rather, you should look elsewhere. You shouldn't regret it later. Teachers are human beings, and they should take care of children who give gifts at Christmas and other occasions, and not be too nice to children of parents they don't like. That's the level of teachers in kindergartens. I also sent my child to a Christian English preschool and the above is true. Especially because some teachers think it's the mother's fault for her inconvenient English. For the sake of the child's future, let's send the child to a preschool that the mother is satisfied with.

Cat,

I am sorry for your loss. Many people who post here do so using various IDs. You should just ignore them, thinking that they are poor people who usually don't care about anyone.

My wife is also a childcare worker and a parent, so I understand both feelings very well. As a parent with children going to school, there is one thing you should know. There is a big barrier of visa in the U.S. More than half of the teachers working in Japanese kindergartens have no experience in childcare ( ) as far as I know. Many of the teachers who do have experience are brought in from Japan on student or J visas, and they work for such low salaries that they can hardly make it on just a kindergarten salary. Basically, the reality is that the teachers are working under very difficult conditions and cannot afford it. From the local school where my wife now works, I think the chronic understaffing and organizational inexperience is more of a burden on the teachers working there.

The situation is quite different from Japan, so please keep that in mind somewhere in the corner of your mind.

When my child was in kindergarten, my wife was very reserved with the preschool from the perspective of the nursery staff, and I was angry with her, saying that we are paying for the service, so why should we be reserved? I think my wife's response was 100% correct. Now I think my wife was 100% right.

While CAT is positive and supportive of the teacher, I think it is also a good idea to ask the teacher for his/her help. I feel strongly that parenting is a process in which we, as parents, must learn to be considerate and considerate of those who are involved with our children, or they will not be able to grow up freely. When our child was not yet born, my wife also said many things to the parents from a superior perspective, which I regretted and regretted very much after becoming a parent. I think it is okay to listen to half of what childcare workers who do not have children say.

I'm curious about the Japanese kindergarten where that blunder took place … .
Whatever the reason, children should not be allowed to leave the classroom without permission. The number of teachers will vary depending on the age of the child, but generally there should be one homeroom teacher and one or two assistants. It is the fault of the nursery teacher that there are that many adult eyes and they weren't looking there. It is to be expected that children will touch other children's things when they are in a group for the first time.
It is expected that a childcare worker will touch other children's belongings when they are new to a group. Certainly, childcare workers are human beings. They are not saints. They are overworked with low salaries. But not all child care workers are like that.
I think they are aware that they are taking care of each child who is precious to the parents. Unfortunately, there have actually been childcare workers who disrespect the children of parents they don't like. Some preschool directors are ranking their children according to the parents' finances and donations.

It is still summer school now.
You should be glad you found out early. It is the parents who protect their own children.
Please visit different kindergartens and take a good look.

A child who is a handful, has some problems, or is active, once he or she is in kindergarten, the childcare staff will be responsible and ready to help.
If a childcare worker cannot do that, unfortunately, he or she is not skilled enough. I fully understand the parents' desire to send their children to a Japanese-affiliated kindergarten just for the duration of kindergarten so that they can experience Japanese culture and events. If you are going to live in the U.S. for a long time, don't worry about your child's English skills, as they will be mastered in time.

From a child's perspective, they are learning rules and social skills as they enter group life and go to kindergarten. Especially if your child is at an age where he/she is not allowed to do many things, or if it is the first time for him/her to attend kindergarten, there are many more rules for him/her than at home.
Even so, they are super adaptable and will get used to it.
They learn the joy of making friends and comparing themselves.
They are also learning what they do and don't do around them. I have also worked in childcare and am the mother of a magical 2 and 3 year old. I cared for many, many rambunctious children.
Sometimes I had to tell the parents, even though it was painful, and it was also part of my job to tell them what they had "done" and what they "did" beyond our expectations. Please do not be happy or sad, but walk with your child as if he/she is learning the hardships and difficulties of society in a group environment. Also, as the mother of a child, I would say to the preschool teachers, "I'm sorry, it must be hard for you, my child. I try to be nice and have the attitude to say, "I'm sorry, I know it's hard on you, my child. I am a parent who thinks that the teacher may have an influence on my child.
Should I do something? I do say what I have to say, but I try to be nice. By the way, my kids go to American Preschool. I always give information to the teachers about the newest program, Teribo 2, etc.
So, I have to tell them about the newest program. So, if you are the one who is the topic of this article, please tell your child that you tried to work on this yesterday at dinner, and also tell the preschool teachers that you know it's a lot of work and that you would appreciate their help. The child will surely grow up with super adaptability, and it will be hard for both the child and the parents to get used to it, so please cheer up, just as if it were one of the many difficulties of child-rearing ! I apologize for the last words, but I am afraid I am being rude.
I do not recommend you to go to a kindergarten. The principal is not good, and the disrepute is circulating even in the American School.

We are not particularly problematic children, but we still nudge the teachers on a regular basis. We also consult with them. I ask them, "I am like this at home, but how is it at the school ?? When I was a little girl, I heard that she used to leave her seat while eating, so I tried to have an attitude that says, "I'm sorry for bothering you, and I hope you will continue to take good care of me.

I think that even though I am paying them, they are doing most of the childcare during the day, which is the role of parents. If you know you have enrolled your child in a preschool that has problems, you can transfer. If you chose that preschool just because your friend was there, I don't think you need to put your child in an environment that is not positive for you and your child, even more so if you feel bad about it.

I have never had a bad teacher, but a friend of mine who lived in Torrance a few years ago had a hard time finding a Japanese kindergarten, so maybe it's an area thing. Another friend had no complaints with a Japanese-affiliated kindergarten or daycare. I guess it's just chemistry ?.

My point is
graduating from a Japanese kindergarten and entering a regular English school. No matter how you think about it, children are confused and it takes a while for them to adjust
because you throw them into an English environment all of a sudden. ?
How much Japanese culture can a child learn in a Japanese-Japanese kindergarten that he/she will attend for only a couple of years ? He/she will forget in a year
He/she can speak but cannot understand, read or write difficult Japanese.
I guess it's the ego of the mothers who don't speak English and don't think about their children's future.

Japanese preschools require children to be more neat and orderly than American preschools.

In the end, I think the most important thing is whether or not the child fits in with the preschool.
Also, even if you are strict and stressful to the parents, how about to the children ?
For example, when they tell you that you have messed with other children's food, you say, "I'll tell you at home too ! ! By the way, today at that time You could ask, "How did the teacher speak to our child ??

Also, during summer school, the members, number of children, teachers, and contents are different from regular daycare.
It is very common for children to take summer school as a break-in period, and I wouldn't mind being told that the teachers are having a hard time, too.

So I feel that the mother herself is nervous about the unfamiliar environment and is more nervous.
But at the same time, as a mother, I would like her to keep her instincts in mind, such as "Is it really OK to leave my child here?

As a previous commenter wrote, it is different from Japanese kindergartens because of visa and qualification requirements.
But in terms of having your child make friends of the same age who can speak Japanese, I think a Japanese preschool is a very good environment.

I don't know the age of your child or the situation at that time, so I can't speak as a judge, but it seems that in kindergartens where the management uses intimidation to motivate the teachers, the teachers also think that intimidating the children is the way to educate them.
When choosing a kindergarten, I think you should consult your friends ・ and acquaintances, but I think it would be better to determine what makes a "good kindergarten" introduced by them "good" and whether they have the same standards as you.
I believe that it is becoming a common understanding in Japan that education in early childhood influences the rest of one's life.
Let's protect the children who will be our future !.

If one parent is Japanese, it is still better to be able to speak Japanese.
I think it would be different enjoyment if you can speak Japanese with your grandparents, cousins, or when you go back to Japan temporarily.
In our family, we speak Japanese at home, so daily conversation is not a problem.
But reading and writing are at the first grade level.
I can read Hiragana and Katakana.
Since I can have daily conversation, I enjoy traveling with my Japanese family and going out to eat with them.
I think my daughters are permanent residents of the U.S., but I am glad that I can do just daily conversation.

That's right.
If you are poorly bilingual, you can be used for convenience. If you are an expatriate and know you are going back to your home country, but if you are an American here, proper English is a must. You can be president even if you don't speak Japanese, but you can't be president if you don't speak English.
If I write that, some people may say that they don't want to be president, but it's just an example.

Kids can learn to speak English even if they are left alone, and it is the family environment that determines the kid's character.

In addition, a kid's intelligence is inherited at the same level as his parents.
