What is a 'good child'?
⭐️ What kind of child is a 'good child'?
I thought,
could it be that 'good child' actually has two meanings?
😅
A child with a good heart
and
a convenient child
Doesn't that
make you a little nervous?
⭐️ A good heart?
'Kokorone' (inner nature)
means
one's 'true heart' or 'deepest feelings',
so
'having a good heart' means
being kind or
being sincere or
having qualities that
make one respectable as a person.
That is the impression.
In many cases,
we use'good child' in this sense, don't we?
😊✨
⭐️ Convenient?
A 'convenient child' is
for the convenience of adults.
It is not for the child's convenience, but for the convenience of adults
such as parents and teachers.
A child who is easy to manage
And that is sometimes
It is easy to become
a convenient child😫
⭐️In my experience
Since I was little,
being a 'good child'was something I thought
was important💦
For my parents,
social standing and
how others perceived them
were very important.
Being a 'good child'
sometimes became a stress
that weighed heavily on me😨
If I wasn't a 'good child',
my parents would get moody
or get angry at me, so
I couldn't stop being one💧
Even after becoming an adult,
it was painful because
I had attached the idea that
I should be a 'good person'
as an extension of being a 'good child'😫
It was unconscious, you know~💦
It took quite a long time, but
It's okay not to be a 'good child' or a 'good person'
I'm glad I realized that~✨😊
⭐️For children,
without realizing it,
they can become a 'convenient child'💦
They watch their surroundings closely,
or are considerate...
If a child is holding back,
pushing themselves too hard,
or trying hard to be that way,
It's okay not to be a 'good child'
You have choicesI want to tell them that💌✨
If you feel uncomfortable, you can even express it as
I refuse to be a 'convenient child'
✨
⭐️ What is a 'good child'?
A child with a good heart doesn't 'become' a 'good child',
they just are.
That is a wonderful thing.✨
They might be fully receiving
love from their parents.💕
A convenient child
is just 'acting' like a 'good child'.
They might be children
trying hard to receive love.😂💦
Even though they are both called 'good children',
I deeply realized
that they are different in this way.
If you are going to say something to them,
instead of 'You're a good child',
I want to convey
their specific
wonderful qualities✨
instead.😄
'You're kind'
'You brighten up the room'
'Thank you for being so helpful'
'You're so thoughtful'
