French parenting that is gaining worldwide attention The first domestic test of French children's patience and consideration! Digging into the secrets hidden in French parenting A place where mothers are as free and happy as their children, any French mother cannot help but worry about parenting. How can I raise my child well? It is not easy to obtain parenting information that makes both mother and child happy amidst the flood of parenting information. Korean mothers struggling with the burden of parenting. Is there really no solution to happy parenting? Recently, the whole world is paying attention to French parenting. In Korea, too, mothers' interest in French parenting is so high that books related to French parenting have sold over 100,000 copies. What is the secret hidden in their discipline? And what kind of power will that discipline have in the future? Self-reliant, polite, and considerate children, mothers who are as free and happy as their children. We observe and verify the parenting methods of French mothers to find wise disciplinary methods. Comparative analysis of parenting variables of Korean and French mothers Parenting books, TV programs, and the Internet are pouring in. Korean mothers’ interest in parenting is hotter than in any other country. In Korean families where children are the center of the family, how confident are Korean mothers about their parenting? The production team compared and analyzed parenting efficacy and parenting anxiety of Korean and French mothers. Among the sub-variables of parenting efficacy, Korean mothers’ affection for their children was 3.05 out of 4, showing high affection. However, their parenting anxiety was 2.25! Compared to French mothers who scored 1.95, their anxiety was high⋯ Despite searching countless parenting information and spending a lot of time with their children, most Korean mothers are always anxious. They thought that a life where children come first before themselves was the way to protect their children and that they had always done their best⋯ “I don’t know if this is right. I’m anxious about whether I’m doing it right.” Why do Korean mothers get frustrated when it comes to discipline? We observe typical Korean families raising infants and listen to the concerns of mothers. The first domestic test of French children’s ability to delay gratification and consideration! Why are French mothers free from parenting stress? What secrets are hidden in French mothers who are confident in their own parenting methods and discipline them firmly? “In the case of children, how do parents create that environment? I think that by showing them that they will follow the rules no matter what happens once they set a rule, we can develop children’s ability to delay gratification.” Professor Cho Hee-yeon, Department of Child Studies, Hanyang Cyber ​​University As a result of the first domestic test of French children’s ability to delay gratification and consideration, the French children who participated in the experiment showed surprising results. All children who participated in the marshmallow experiment to measure their ability to delay gratification waited for 15 minutes, and in the consideration test, we were able to observe them solving problem situations while being considerate of their peers. This was the consistent environment that French mothers created for their children, and the power that this environment created. Happy Discipline, a Shortcut to Happiness for the Whole Family “We usually think of discipline as scolding children and making them not do something, but if you teach them clearly, they can easily solve what they need to do in new situations without getting confused.” Professor Jeong Yoon-gyeong, Department of Psychology, Catholic University France, a country where children are loved but never the center of the family, respects and honors both parents and children as individuals. The mothers I met in France all said the same thing. “Parenting stress? No!” There is nothing special about France compared to Korea. Based on a consistent belief in discipline, ‘unwavering’ French mothers still love their children. ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Family Shock Part 5 Happy Discipline, the Secret of French Parenting ✔ Broadcast date: 2014.11.25
