I did scary while my colleague has shown the news to me, a battery of girls which around 7 year-old who are the experts of make-up, fixed the eyebrows, and take off the body hair. They, also, appeared in the TV beauty show. What’s the matter?

7Year-Old Japanese Girls

The news is about “Japanese Primary Girls, the least research of Beauty Survey. How to take off the body hair is the common sense of little girls in Japan?” Honestly, this is an attractive reporting, but what is the meaning? The truth is the Japanese primary girls have the high level skills in make-up, and beauty, even better than the adualt. In Japan, the new service of “Children take off body hair services”, they could use the traditional method or laser to do that. Some plots are the opinions of the girls or their parents. A girl said that these sorts of beauty are the foundation of keeping youth and pretty, but she is lazy, just start at secondary school. Another screen showed that the priority of a mother is the happiness of her daughter. Therefore, she could accept her primary-student daughter to take off the body hair at this moment.

The conclusion of the report is “After reading this news, most netizens felt that they have been dropped behind by the primary girls. However, most people worried that how far they will get the evolution? It cannot imagine.”

Different Angle Same Sense

Different Nations, races will have vary social norms, and culture. Japan always shows her uniqueness among the surrounding countries. It is a riddle that to what extent the Japanese primary girls will performs after several years later. Yet, we assured that, the behavior and mind of the children could be affected by the daily learning, imitation, and education. One of the significant parents who understood this theory very much, she is the mother of Meng Zi (One of the famous ancestors of Confucianism). She did move their home three times because of looking for the appropriate environment for her son to study. She comprehended a child has been influenced easily.

Even though the vary culture, something must be same. For examples, the ways you treat your partner, and that kind of partner you will get; similarly, the ways you educate your child, and that kind of the child you will get. It pretty likes karma of Buddhism.

Recognize the Role

Albert Bandura (1963), Canadian Psychologist, mentioned that through observation another person, adult or their parents, then imitated again and again, and the behavior has been shaped. This theory has been published in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. Certainly, some behaviors have been learnt from the long term education, especial fixed by parents’ teaching. In the theory of Eric Berne, Transactional Analysis, the psychological as well as behaviors performance are coming from the parenting.

Japanese primary girls whether they do follow the fashion only, such as rainbow plastic rubber band kittening, they will shift to another activity later on. The question is the attitude and action of the parents.

We always heard that kids are the future of the world, but how to enforce their power? That is the responsibility of the parents to recognize they are the starting line of the children.
