【りょういく】What I learned about my daughter by visiting city’s Ryouiku.
Hi, I’m Lenore!
This time, I’d like to write about what I learned about my daughter after visiting the city’s Ryouiku which has style of parent-chilid attend.
In my last article, I wrote about some of the things I didn’t feel so good about, but on the other hand, there were some positive things I learned about my daughter.
New discovery about my daughter!
What I found out is that…
●She visited the center for the first time, but she pulled a teacher’s hand and made a gesture of “Give me the toy in the distance"! →The crane behavior was also present in our home, but I was surprised that she tried to communicate her requests to people she met for the first time, other than family members like me and my husband.
●When she was told that she could play outside freely and went out to the yard, she was smiling and running around freely! →Almost all the other children were in the sandbox, and only my daughter was happy to run around and look at the trees and grasses. She didn’t fell any location anxiety. She was so energetic!
I realized these two things, and felt
“Even though the method itself is her own, I can see that she is trying to get away from me and get involved in the world…Maybe she doesn’t need to go to preschool with me all the time🤔“.
Also, at that time, she was a “Please do this (instead of me)" child. As soon as me or my husband were around, she had a strong feeling of “Let’s have them do it for me."
So I felt it would be better to have an environment where my daughter can be taught how to do things properly. We needed an environment where she can easily try to do things by herself.
Can I make the best use of the merit?
Ryouiku which has style of parent-chilid attend have the advantage that parents can go with their children to learn how to interact with their children, which can be applied at home.
However, I felt “Will my child do anything dangerous? And can they do the tasks that come up one after another? …with the other children💦! ” in that Ryouiku.
I had to be frantic every moment, and I couldn’t learn how to treat my daughter.
During the tour, I talked to a few people who were already attending the Ryouiku, but everyone was trying hard to follow the flow of the school and watch their own children, and some mothers seemed to be in an uptight mood the whole time.
Of course, some people are better suited for mother-child care.
There are many opportunities to get to know other mothers, and I think that’s a good thing.
However, it’s hard to talk to each other if there isn’t a proper time set aside to talk😅
Let’s visit other Ryouiku.
So I started looking for a different kind of medical care and education because the city Ryouiku was not good for her and me.
As I was doing some research at home on the Internet, I remembered a set of pamphlets that the city nurse had given me about some Ryouiku in various places.
One that caught my attention was a private rehabilitation facility outside of my prefecture, where parents could watch the individual therapy sessions through a magic mirror.
It was a system you go with your child, say “bye bye" and leave, but in fact you are watching the therapy session from the next room.
I was so interested in the facility that I immediately called to request a tour…!
I’ll write more about this next time!
Thank you very much for reading this article☆
