Je ne suis pas sure d’etre fan de l’objectification des enfants pour la TV, mais c’est absolument rafraichissant de fond. Damn oui, ca ouvre un champs des possibles!
Ah je suis passée à côté dans ton post (merci la lecture rapide :), je n'avais pas le titre en anglais en tête. Effectivement, plus intéressant sur le fait culturel que l'émission traduit que le programme en tant que tel :)
I find myself saying YES when I read just the subtitle of this post "what if spending less time with our kids was the solution to drop (child + parent) anxiety?".
I often think modern parents are overthinking everything, trying to structure, decide, and help the kid do everything. Living in Hong Kong, where the "helper culture" is huge, a lot of kids don't learn basics like putting on their shoes. Someone is always there to help them.
The thing is, most people turn out to be fine, not bad people. But I can't stop thinking they can achieve so much more if they (or I should say we) have to learn & grow early on.
Not only achieving, but living their lives to their full potential, I believe. Adjacent to this, there's also a misconception that failure is bad, and thus anything that can prevent our kids from failing is made ahead of time. I think that by doing this, we are stealing opportunities for them to learn how to get up and keep going, the muscle of resilience.
Tu connais « comme des grands », l’émission japonaise ? Ça fait relativiser nos pratiques parentales :)
‘Old Enough’? Hihi j’en parle dans ce post ; mais peut etre as tu autre chose en tete, curieuse d’en savoir plus!
