Are Japanese children spoiled?(Educationネタの取りこぼしなので後回しでお願いします)

Yes, I’m afraid that Japanese children have been spoiled for the last three decades. I’ll shed light on two lacks for Japanese children.

First, lack of patience. Children are more affluent and comfortable than ever before. Let’s take convenience store for example. It’s open for 24 hours. They can get any food, drink, magazines and so on at the moment that they want to get. As negative effect of affluent, they can be short on patience. If they can not get what they want, as is often the case, they can resolve to disruptive behavior such as physical violence as the worst case. I can’t help considering that the lifestyle of children is too much affluent.

Second, lack of discipline. Women have played important roles in our society and they pursue their own career. They can’t afford to take care of their children. Parent’s discipline is not good enough to raise child as a member of society.

On top of that, school teachers handle their students as business like. My wife is a school nurse. She confidentially told me that they are not willing to seriously displine their students. Because they are afraid of reaction/claim/complaint from parents. Therefore, their disciplines end up superficial effect.

In conclusion, Japanese children have been vulnerable and have less flexibility. They are not well trained. If we don’t take measures on this issue, we’ll lose national power in international harsh market.
