自称育面って1番怪しいですよね。さて
Calling yourself an involved dad sounds the most suspicious, doesn't it? Anyway...
- 13.
早速質問なんですがあなたはお子さんが
Let me start with a question: when your child...
- 14.
勉強しない時なんて声かけてますかね。
isn't studying, what do you say to them?

宿題やったのとかいい加減ゲームやめ
Things like, “Have you done your homework?” or “Stop playing games already!”

That's what happens. The parent gets tired of saying the same...
- 32.

- 39.
すぎますよね。そしてさらにすごいのが
That's incredible, isn't it? And what's even more remarkable is...
- 40.
子供たちに勉強しなさいって1度も言った
she apparently never once told her children to study.
- 41.
ことがないそうなんです。え、本当に?
Not even once. Really?
- 42.

Then you wonder what she did instead, right? Actually...
- 43.
やったことが本当単純でただ見守るこれ
what she did was very simple: she merely watched over them. That's...
- 44.

You might think, “Wait, isn't that simply...?”
- 46.
の放置じゃんって思うじゃないですか。で
neglecting them?”
- 47.
もね、それがまた違うんですよ。親が
But that's not what it means. Rather than parents...
- 48.
やることを増やすんじゃなくて
adding more things for themselves to do...
- 49.
減らす、減らした分だけ子供が自分で決め
The more you step back, the more your child becomes able to make their own decisions
- 50.
られるようになっていくんです。その
for themselves. And that
- 51.
仕組みも詳しく説明していきます。という
mechanism will also be explained in detail. So
- 52.
ことで、今日この動画で簡単に学べるのは
here are the things you can easily learn from today's video:
- 53.
この3つ。1、たった10秒で子供が勝手
these three things. First, three moments that get your child to act on their own
- 54.
に動き出す3つのタイミング。2、頑張る
in just ten seconds. Second, why the harder
- 55.
親ほど子供が動かなくなる理由。3、子供
parents try, the less their children act. Third, the magic words that make children
- 56.
が自分からゲームをやめる魔法の声かけ。
stop playing video games on their own.
- 57.
今日ここで10秒覚えて実践すればあとは
If you spend ten seconds learning and practicing this today, after that
- 58.
勝手に子供が座っていきますからね
your child will sit down to work all on their own.
- 59.
。それでは今日も楽しく学んで
Now then, let's enjoy learning today as well
- 60.
いきましょう。1つ目、ただ見守るという
together. First: simply watching over your child.
- 61.
話。このただ見守るとは具体的に
What does this idea of “simply watching over them” specifically
- 62.
どういうことなのか?これはですね、手は
mean? It means you don't step in physically,
- 63.
出さないでも心は向ける。この状態のこと
but you remain emotionally attentive. This is the state
- 64.
を指しているんです。もう少し噛み砕いて
I'm referring to. To put it a little more simply,
- 65.
説明すると放っておくのは手も心も離れて
ignoring a child means withdrawing both your actions and your attention
- 66.
いる状態。逆に宿題やってるか何度も確認
. Conversely, repeatedly checking whether they've done their homework
- 67.
したり何回も部屋を覗くのは手も心も出し
or peeking into their room over and over means getting too involved, both physically and emotionally
- 68.
すぎ。その真ん中が見守るという鼓動なん
. Watching over them is the middle ground between those two.
- 69.
です。で、なんでこれで子供が伸びるのか
So why does this help children grow?
- 70.
気になりますよね。これですね、手の出し
You're probably wondering. The thing is, both excessive interference
- 71.
と放置どっちも子供からエネルギーを奪う
and neglect drain a child's energy
- 72.
行為なんです。まず出しすぎの方ですが、
. First, let's look at excessive interference.
- 73.
親の空気がずっとピリピリしていると子供
when a parent is constantly tense, the child
- 74.
っての機嫌を損ねないことに頭を使い
starts using all their mental energy to avoid upsetting them
- 75.
始めるんですよ。怒られないように先回り
. They try to anticipate things so they won't be scolded
- 76.
するとか、親が喜びそうな答えを言う。
or give answers they think will please their parents.
- 77.
本来なら勉強とか好きなことに向かうはず
All the energy that should normally go toward studying or things they enjoy
- 78.
のエネルギーが全部そっちに吸い取られて
gets completely diverted toward managing their parent's mood
- 79.
しまうんです。じゃあ逆に一切関わらず
. So does that mean you should do the opposite and not get involved at all
- 80.
放っておけばいいのかと言うと、これも
, simply leaving them alone? That isn't
- 81.
違うんです。子供って家に自分の居場所が
right either. Children need to feel that they have a place where they belong at home
- 82.
あると思えて始めて外で動けるようになる
before they can begin to act confidently out in the world
- 83.
んです。ここの部分が空っぽだと自分って
. If that sense of belonging is missing, they get stuck wondering
- 84.
いてもいい存在なのかなってところで
whether they even deserve to be here
- 85.
止まってしまう。動く前に燃料が入ってい
and cannot move forward. It's like having no fuel in the tank before even starting
- 86.
ない状態なんですよね。だからこそ手は
. That's precisely why you shouldn't step in physically
- 87.
出さないでも心は向ける。ここが大事なん
, but should remain emotionally attentive. That's what matters
- 88.
です。じゃあ具体的にどうやって心を向け
. So how exactly should you show that emotional attention
- 89.
ばいいのか。これをやる場面は朝、おやつ
? You only need to do this at three times: in the morning, at snack time
- 90.
、寝る前の3つだけ。しかも10秒でOK
, and before bed. And just ten seconds is enough
- 91.
です。まず1つ目、朝ですが、ここでの手
. First, in the morning, “not stepping in”
- 92.
を出さないは子供を起こさないこと。
means not waking your child up.
- 93.
いやいや、起こさなかったら永遠に寝て
You may be thinking, “Come on, if I don't wake them, they'll sleep
- 94.
ますけどって思いますよね。でもこれ
forever.” But this is
- 95.
あえてなんですよ。遅刻しそうになって
intentional. They may realize they're about to be late and panic
- 96.
焦る。朝ご飯を食べる時間がなくなる。
. They may run out of time to eat breakfast.
- 97.
この体験こそが自分の行動に責任を持つ
This experience itself teaches them to take responsibility for their own actions.
- 98.
練習になっているんです。その上でここ
It serves as practice. With that said, this next part
- 99.
からが心を向ける方なんですが出かける時
is about giving them your full attention. When they are leaving,
- 100.
に子供の目を見て行ってらっしゃい。これ
look your child in the eyes and say, “Have a good day.” That’s
- 101.
を言う。たった10秒。いや5秒でもいい
all you need to say. Just ten seconds—or even five
- 102.
んです。その瞬間だけは下の子も洗い物も
seconds is fine. For that brief moment, set aside the younger child and the dishes—
- 103.
全部置いといて出ていく子供だけ
everything—and focus only on the child who is leaving.
- 104.
に心を向けるんですよ。そしてここで大事
Give that child your full attention. And here is the important
- 105.
なポイント。この時何か言ようとしないで
point: don’t try to say anything else at that moment.
- 106.
ください。ハカ値持ったかとか今日提出物
Please don’t. You may want to ask, “Do you have a handkerchief?” or say, “You have something due today,
- 107.
あるよねとか言いたくなる気持ちは分かる
right?” I understand that urge,
- 108.
んですがグっとこらいましょう。これを
but hold it in. If you do that,
- 109.
やると見守りからただの確認作業になっ
it stops being a moment of caring attention and turns into a routine check.
- 110.
ちゃうんで目を見るそれだけを
So focus on just one thing: looking them in the eyes.
- 111.
意識してみてください。ちなみにですね、
Try to keep that in mind. Incidentally,
- 112.
うちの娘と息子は娘は5時半とか6時、
as for my daughter and son, my daughter gets up around 5:30 or 6:00,
- 113.
息子は6時半とかに起きるんで自分で勝手
and my son around 6:30, so they now get up
- 114.
に起きてくるようになっています。読んで
on their own. Reading that,
- 115.
いってね、ちょっとね、ほっとしました。
I felt a little relieved.
- 116.
次に2つ目、おやつの時ですが、帰ってき
Next, the second occasion is snack time. After your child comes home,
- 117.
てから、もしくは週末に一緒におやつを
or during the weekend, have a snack together.
- 118.
食べてください。ヤングドーナツでも
It can be Young Donuts
- 119.
キャベツ太郎でもOK。そして大事なのは
or Kyabetsu Taro—anything is fine. What matters is
- 120.
その時間だけスマホを置くこと、そして
putting your phone away for that time, and
- 121.
宿題はとかテストどうだったとかもう一切
not asking anything at all like, “What about your homework?” or “How was the test?”
- 122.
聞かない。ジャッジもزندگیもなし。
Don’t ask. No judging and no probing.
- 123.
これによって子供は自分はここにいていい
Apparently, this recharges the child with the feeling, “It’s okay for me to be here.”
- 124.
んだって充電されるそうなんです。しかも
And what’s more,
- 125.
これやってる親の方も同時に充電されるん
the parent doing this gets recharged at the same time.
- 126.
ですよ。じゃあ何を話すのって感じですが
So you may be wondering what you should talk about.
- 127.
、超シンプル。これ美味しいね。ちょっと
It’s extremely simple: “This is tasty,” or “It’s a little
- 128.
甘すぎ。形面白い。これでいいんですよ。
too sweet,” or “What a funny shape.” That’s all you need.
- 129.
そして子供が話し始めたら、え、そうなん
Then, if your child starts talking, just respond, “Oh, really?”
- 130.
だ。本当て聞くだけ。アドバイス
or “Really?” and listen. You don’t need to give
- 131.
もいらないんです。そのうち学校のことと
any advice. Eventually, they may tell you about school
- 132.
か友達のこととか話してくれるかもしれ
or their friends.
- 133.
ません。でも前のメりで期待しないのが
But the key is not to lean in eagerly with expectations.
- 134.
コツ。聞き出そうとした瞬間に戻っちゃい
The moment you try to draw information out of them, you’re back where you started.
- 135.
ますから。最後3つ目が寝る前。ここでは
Finally, the third occasion is before bed. At this time,
- 136.
今日良かったこと3つをお互いに言い合い
tell each other three good things that happened today.
- 137.
ます。夕食うまかったとか、休み時間
Things like, “Dinner was good,” or “I played dodgeball
- 138.
ドっちボールしたとか、このレベルでOK
at recess.” That level of detail is perfectly fine.
- 139.
。むしろしょうもない方がいいそうです。
In fact, apparently the more trivial, the better.
- 140.
というのもこれ小さいことでも今日もいい
That’s because this helps them learn that even small things can make today
- 141.
日だったで1日を終える練習になってるん
a good day, and to end the day with that thought.
- 142.
ですよ。これを前晩やってると子供の中に
If you do this every night, within your child
- 143.
自分は今日も大丈夫っていう感覚が
the sense that “I was okay today too”
- 144.
住み上がっていくんです。で、ここ大事な
will steadily build up. And here is another important point—
- 145.
んですが親も一緒に3ついいことを言い
But parents should also say three good things together with their children.
- 146.
ましょう。子供に言わせて終わりだとそれ
Let's do that. If you merely have the child say them and leave it at that,
- 147.
ただの宿題になってしまいます。この紹介
it will become just another assignment. As for the three things I introduced,
- 148.
した3つどうですかね?もうやってること
what do you think of them? What you need to do is no different from what you already do:
- 149.
は全部同じで手は出さないでも心は向ける
don't intervene, but do give the child your attention.
- 150.
なんですよね。これだったらできるはず
That's the idea. This should be something you can do.
- 151.
ですから明日の朝行ってらっしゃいの10
So tomorrow morning, for just the ten seconds when you say goodbye,
- 152.
秒だけスマホを置いてあなたの子供の目を
put down your phone and look your child in the eyes.
- 153.
見てあげてください。それだけで子供の心
Please really look at them. That alone will protect the space in your child's heart,
- 154.
の空間はちゃんと守れますから。
just as it needs to be.
- 155.
2つ目させなきゃワールドという話。
The second topic is what I call the “Have-to-Make-Them World.”
- 156.
あなたはお子さんにそろそろ宿題やったら
Do you ever say to your child, “Isn't it about time you did your homework?”
- 157.
と言ったり明日の時間割りを揃えちゃうと
Or do you go ahead and pack everything for tomorrow's classes,
- 158.
いったついつい先回りやっちゃってません
doing things in advance for them without even realizing it?
- 159.
かね。これね、よかれと思ってやってるん
Perhaps you do. You do these things with the best of intentions,
- 160.
ですけど、実はこれやればやるほど子供が
but the more you do them, the less your child
- 161.
動かなくなるんですよ。というの
will act on their own. That's because
- 162.
も、親の頑張るエネルギーが上がれば
the more energy parents put into trying hard,
- 163.
上がるほど子供の死体性は下がっていくん
the more the child's autonomy declines.
- 164.
です。これですね、あなたが間違ってる
That's what happens. It doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong.
- 165.
わけじゃないんです。ただ目に見えない
There are simply invisible
- 166.
力学が働いてるだけ。どういうことかと
dynamics at work. What this means is that
- 167.
言うと、親が宿題を見てあげる。習い事を
parents help with homework, research extracurricular lessons,
- 168.
調べてあげる。あれここれ指示をして
and give all sorts of instructions
- 169.
あげる。この時その裏側に私はこんなに
for the child. Behind all this lies the feeling, “I'm doing so much for you,
- 170.
やってるんだからあなたもちゃんとやって
so you had better do your part properly,”
- 171.
よという無言の圧がどうしてもね、流れ
and that unspoken pressure inevitably gets conveyed.
- 172.
ちゃうんですよ。で、子供ってこの空気に
Children are extremely sensitive to that atmosphere,
- 173.
めちゃくちゃ敏感で言葉では何も言われて
and even if nothing has been said to them directly,
- 174.
ないのに、うわ、めんどくさ。勝手に決め
they think, “Ugh, what a pain. They're deciding everything for me,”
- 175.
られてるって感じを受け取ってやる気の
and that feeling makes them switch their motivation
- 176.
スイッチをパチンとオフにしちゃうんです
off with a snap.
- 177.
。これ大人も同じじゃないですか?上司に
Isn't it the same for adults? When your boss
- 178.
ちゃんとやったのって高圧的に言われた
pressures you by saying, “Did you do it properly?”
- 179.
瞬間やる気がすーっと引いてくじゃない
doesn't your motivation drain away the instant they say it?
- 180.
ですか。この状態をね、この本ではさせ
This book calls that state the
- 181.
なけワールドドって呼んでいるんですが、
“Have-to-Make-Them World.”
- 182.
一言で言うと不安がベースの世界
In a word, it is a world rooted in anxiety.
- 183.
です。将来のためにとか失敗しないために
It is driven by thoughts such as “for their future,” “so they won't fail,”
- 184.
負けないために子供がどう感じているか
or “so they won't lose,” and instead of how the child feels,
- 185.
より人にどう見られるか世間でどう評価さ
the standard becomes how others see them and how society will judge
- 186.
れるかが基準になっている状態。このザ
them. That is the state we're talking about. When in this
- 187.
ワールドにいるとですね、子供の口癖も
“Have-to-Make-Them World,” children apparently develop a predictable catchphrase,
- 188.
決まってるそうでそれが分かっただそう
which is “Okay, I get it.”
- 189.
です。本当はやりたくないけど言っても
They don't really want to do it, but they know that even if they speak up,
- 190.
無駄だから分かったって言っとくで
it won't change anything, so they just say, “Okay.” And then
- 191.
だんだん無口になっていく。これ
they gradually stop talking.
- 192.
中にはぐさってきた人いるんじゃないです
I imagine that hit some of you right where it hurts.
- 193.
かね。自分の子供分かったってよく言うな
I guess. People often say, “I understand my own child,”
- 194.
とか、じゃあどうすればいいのかという話
but then, what should we do?
- 195.
なんですが、反対側のやっちゃうワールド
The answer is to move over to the opposite side—the “Just Do It World.”
- 196.
、ここに引っ越すんですよ。こっちは楽し
You move over here. On this side, enjoyment
- 197.
さがベースで自分はどうしたいかで動く
is the foundation, and people act according to what they themselves want to do.
- 198.
世界でして、ここではやっちゃうワールド
That is how this world works. Here, I’ll introduce
- 199.
への生き方を2つ紹介していきます。まず
two ways to live in the “Just Do It World.” First:
- 200.
1つ目、失敗談を語る。親って完璧でいな
Number one: talk about your failures. Parents tend to think they have to be perfect,
- 201.
きゃって思っちゃうんですけど、これ逆
but that actually has the opposite
- 202.
効果。子供って親を20年間
effect. Children watch their parents closely for twenty years,
- 203.
ずっと近くで見てるので、完璧な親を見
so if all they ever see is a perfect parent,
- 204.
続けると自分はこうはなれないって思って
they start thinking, “I could never be like that,”
- 205.
挑戦しなくなっていくんです。だから
and gradually stop taking on challenges. So,
- 206.
どんどん失敗した話をしてあげてください
tell them plenty of stories about your failures.
- 207.
。例えばお母さんテストで14点取った
For example: “Mom once got 14 points on a test.
- 208.
ことあるよ。先生にもおばあちゃんにも
Both my teacher and your grandma
- 209.
めちゃくちゃ怒られたことがあるんだとか
got extremely angry with me.”
- 210.
最近のですね、私の失敗で言うとお菓子の
As for one of my own recent failures, there’s this candy
- 211.
ずれたっていうグミを作るのがあるんです
kit called “Zureta” that lets you make gummy candy.
- 212.
が子供と一緒に作っていて粉の順番を盛大
I was making it with my child, and I got the order of the powders completely
- 213.
に間違えて最高に美味しくないグミ作って
wrong, producing spectacularly awful gummy candy,
- 214.
失敗したんですよ。グミどころかもう粉薬
so it was a total failure. It wasn’t even gummy candy anymore; it was like powdered medicine
- 215.
溶かしたみたいになっちゃって5歳の息子
dissolved in water. To my five-year-old son,
- 216.
にパパ本気で間違えた。本当ごめんて全力
I said with complete sincerity, “Daddy really messed up. I’m so sorry,” and
- 217.
で謝りました。でもこの失敗団が何で聞く
apologized wholeheartedly. But why are stories of failure so effective?
- 218.
かって言うと失敗してもいいんだよって
It’s because, rather than merely saying, “It’s okay to fail,”
- 219.
言葉で言うより失敗してもなんとかな
showing them that even if you fail, things will work
- 220.
るって姿を見せた方が何十倍も伝わるそう
out conveys the message dozens of times more powerfully.
- 221.
なんです。是非ねあなたの幼少期
Apparently, that really is the case. So please tell them about things from your childhood,
- 222.
の振られた話とかいろんな話してみてあげ
such as the time someone rejected you, and all sorts of other stories.
- 223.
てください。次に2つ目行動の順番を
Next, number two: change the order in which things are done.
- 224.
変える。今おそらくなんですがこうやっ
Right now, I imagine many people probably do it
- 225.
てる人が多いと思うんです。宿題やったら
this way: “Once you’ve done your homework,
- 226.
ゲームしていいよ。片付けたら
you can play video games.” “Once you tidy up,
- 227.
おやつね。やるべきことが先で楽しいこと
you can have a snack.” Obligations come first and enjoyable things
- 228.
が後。これをですね、なんと逆にするん
come afterward. Well, believe it or not, you reverse that order.
- 229.
です。おやつを食べようって先に言う。そ
Say, “Let’s have a snack,” first. Then
- 230.
したら子供がここ片付けないと食べられ
the child will say on their own, “We can’t eat unless we tidy this area
- 231.
ないねて自分で言い出す。公園に行こうっ
up.” If you say, “Let’s go to the park,”
- 232.
て言えばじゃあ準備しなきゃってなる。
they’ll think, “Then I have to get ready.”
- 233.
友達と遊んでくるならじゃあ宿題いつ
If they’re going out to play with friends, they’ll start wondering, “Then when should I
- 234.
やろっかなって自分で考え始めるんです。
do my homework?”
- 235.
順番を変えただけ。でもやらされてる
All you did was change the order. But it completely shifts them from the mode of being forced
- 236.
モードからやりたくて動くモードに完全に
to do something into the mode of acting because they want
- 237.
変わってきてるんですよね。実際著者の家
to. In fact, in the author’s household,
- 238.
ではテストより家族旅行やお誕生日ランチ
family trips and birthday lunches are apparently scheduled before
- 239.
の予定が先に入るらしいんですよ。だから
tests. As a result,
- 240.
子供たちはそれに合わせて自分で勉強時間
the children arrange their own study time around those plans.
- 241.
を確保しているんです。面白い方法ですよ
That's how they secure it. It's an interesting approach, isn't it?
- 242.
ね。ですから今日お子さんに何か言う時
So, when you say something to your child today,
- 243.
楽しいことを先に言ってみてあげて
try mentioning the fun part first.
- 244.
ください。宿題やったらゲームし
Instead of saying, “You can play games after you do your homework,”
- 245.
ていいよじゃなくて今日ゲームやるなら
say, “If you're going to play games today,
- 246.
宿題いつやる?これだけで決めるのが子供
when will you do your homework?” Just that shifts the decision
- 247.
側に移っていきますから。3つ目、スマホ
to the child. Third: smartphones
- 248.
とゲームという話。今の時代って本当に
and games. In this day and age,
- 249.
デジタルとの付き合い方大事ですよね。
how we engage with digital technology really matters, doesn't it?
- 250.
スマホもゲームもYouTubeも
Smartphones, games, and YouTube—
- 251.
取り上げるわけにはいかないかと言って
we can't simply take them away, but
- 252.
放っておくのも怖い。しかもこれ
it's also frightening to leave children to their own devices. And now
- 253.
からAIまで来てますからね。一体どうし
we even have AI to contend with. What on earth
- 254.
たらいいの?て全人類が頭を抱えていると
should we do? I think all of humanity is wrestling with that question.
- 255.
思います。で、結論から言うとルールを親
So, to give you the conclusion first, the moment parents decide the rules,
- 256.
が決めた時点でもう化け子供に
they've already lost. What matters is letting the child
- 257.
決めさせることが大事なんです。というの
decide. The reason is
- 258.
もですね、私たちの心配って依存しないか
that our concerns are whether they might become addicted,
- 259.
、勉強しなくならないか、はまりすぎ
stop studying, or get too
- 260.
ちゃうんじゃないかだと思うんですけど、
absorbed in it, but
- 261.
実は本当の願ってそこじゃないんです。
that isn't actually our true wish.
- 262.
溜まっても自分で切り上げられる
We want them to become adults who can stop on their own,
- 263.
大人になってほしい。ここじゃないですか
even when they're engrossed in something. Isn't that the real goal?
- 264.
。でも親が時間を決めて守らせるって親が
But if parents set the time limit and make the child follow it, that only means the parents
- 265.
管理できてるだけで自分で切り上げる力は
are managing things; the child's ability to stop on their own remains
- 266.
0のままなんですよ。むしろ管理されてる
at zero. In fact, because they're being managed,
- 267.
分育っていない。ここが自分で
that ability isn't developing. This is the crucial point in whether they become someone who can
- 268.
切り上げられる人になるかどうかの別れ目
stop on their own or not.
- 269.
なんですよ。じゃあ一体どうするかって話
So, what exactly should we do?
- 270.
なんですけど、3つのポイントをお伝えし
I'll share three key points
- 271.
ます。まず1つ目、目安を知っておく。
with you. First, know the general guidelines.
- 272.
この本には小学生で平日30分から1時間
This book recommends 30 minutes to one hour on weekdays for elementary school students,
- 273.
、休日は2、3時間、中学生ならその
and two to three hours on days off; for middle school students,
- 274.
1.5倍。高校生以上は基本的に
1.5 times that amount. High school students and older should generally
- 275.
自己管理と書いてあります。ただこれ
manage it themselves. However,
- 276.
あくまで参考ですからね。親がこれを言っ
these are only guidelines. Be careful, because the moment a parent says this
- 277.
た瞬間に押し付けになりますから要注意。
to their child, it becomes an imposed rule.
- 278.
次に2つ目、子供に聞く。ただ
Second, ask the child. However,
- 279.
いきなりね、何時間がいいって聞いても
if you suddenly ask, “How many hours do you think is good?”
- 280.
警戒されて終わります。だからその前に
they'll just become wary, and that will be the end of the conversation. So before that,
- 281.
まず一緒にやってみてください。今何見
try doing it together first. Ask, “What are you watching
- 282.
てんの?今どう勝ってるとかでオ。私もね
right now?” or “How are you winning?” That's enough. I also
- 283.
、9歳の娘とスプラトゥーンやってるん
play Splatoon with my nine-year-old daughter,
- 284.
ですが、普通に負けますからね。もう胴体
and she beats me fair and square. My ability to track movement
- 285.
視力が追いつけなくておじいちゃんレベル
just can't keep up; it's at grandpa level.
- 286.
です。で、負けると娘がめちゃくちゃ喜ぶ
And when I lose, my daughter is absolutely delighted.
- 287.
んですよ。ちくしょって気持ちを1回置い
I set aside my feeling of “Darn it!” for a moment
- 288.
て子供に監視を向けるうまかったねって。
and turn my attention to my child, saying, “You were really good!”
- 289.
そうすることで話ができる関係になって
By doing that, you'll build a relationship where you can talk things through,
- 290.
いくんです。そしてその上でですよ。毎日
and then, once you've done that, ask: “Every day,
- 291.
どのくらいのゲーム時間がいいっ
how much gaming time do you think would be good?”
- 292.
て思う?て聞いてみるんです。これ驚くの
Try asking them what they think. What's surprising
- 293.
がですね、子供って自分にぴったりの時間
is that children actually know exactly how much time suits them.
- 294.
をちゃんと分かってるんですよ。親の顔色
They really do. If the number they give you isn't based on reading their parents' reaction,
- 295.
を伺わずに本人が出した数字ならそれを
try going with it.
- 296.
採用してみてください。さらに時間で
Also ask whether to set the limit by time
- 297.
区切るゲームの区切りで決める。守れ
or by a natural stopping point in the game. Ask, “What should we do if you can't stick to it?
- 298.
なかったらどうする?どうやって声かけ
What could I say to help you stop?”
- 299.
たらやめれそう?ここまで全部子供に聞い
Ask your child about all of these things.
- 300.
ちゃいましょう。手間はかかりますが、
It does take some effort, but
- 301.
ここで親が一方的に決めるとこの先ずっと
if the parent makes all the decisions unilaterally here, from this point on
- 302.
毎日揉めちゃうことになります。最後3つ
you'll end up arguing about it every day. Finally, the third point
- 303.
目、守れなかった時の声かけ。ま
is what to say when they don't follow the rule. Well,
- 304.
、ぶっちゃけ子供は守れないそうです。
to be honest, children apparently won't be able to stick to it.
- 305.
うちの子供もこれやりましたが守れており
I tried this with my own child too, and they haven't managed to stick to it.
- 306.
ません。ただこれは想定ないで、ここで
But that's to be expected. At this point, instead of
- 307.
いい加減やめなさいって行動を注意するん
criticizing the behavior by saying, “That's enough—stop it,”
- 308.
じゃなくて、子供の状態の方を見てあげる
pay attention to how your child is doing instead.
- 309.
んです。最近なんか疲れてない?ちょっと
Say something like, “Haven't you seemed a bit tired lately?
- 310.
機嫌悪い時あるよねみたいな感じ。こう
You've been in a bad mood sometimes, haven't you?” By doing this,
- 311.
することで子供ってあ、寝るの遅いからか
the child may realize, “Oh, maybe it's because I go to bed late,”
- 312.
もとか自分で原因にたどり着くことが
and identify the cause on their own.
- 313.
できるんです。そして1番大事な
They can work it out for themselves. And the most important thing
- 314.
のができた時に言葉にすること。お、昨日
is to put it into words when they succeed: “Oh, you stopped earlier
- 315.
より早くやめられたね。自分で切り上げ
than yesterday. You managed to wrap it up
- 316.
られたじゃん。すごいな。この一言で子供
all by yourself. That's great!” Those few words can change
- 317.
の自分でできるって感覚が変わってきます
a child's sense that they are capable of doing it themselves,
- 318.
から、ここは絶対忘れないようにし
so be sure not to forget this.
- 319.
ましょう。ちなみにこちらの過去動画では

ねポチってみてください。うちの9歳の娘
click on it and check it out. I have a nine-year-old daughter,
- 331.
がいるんですが先週ですね
and last week,
- 332.
。大人っていいなって言ってきたんですよ
she said to me, “It must be nice being an adult.”
- 333.
。で、なんでそう思うのって聞いたら、
So I asked her why she thought that, and she said,
- 334.
だってパパ超楽しそうじゃんって言うん
“Because you look like you're having so much fun, Dad!”
- 335.
ですよ。もうこれがですね、本当に
That's what she told me. And honestly, that was
- 336.
美味しくて。というのも私もね、子供の頃
so gratifying to hear. You see, when I was a child too,
- 337.
電車で通勤してる大人たちを見てうわあ、
Seeing adults commuting by train, I’d think, “Whoa...
- 338.
大人って大変そうなりたくないなって本気
Being an adult looks so hard. I genuinely don’t want to become one,”
- 339.
で思って過ごしてたんです。ま、正直仕事
and that’s honestly how I felt growing up. Well, to be frank, work
- 340.
とか本当大変じゃないですか?私もね、
really is tough, isn’t it? For me too,
- 341.
サラリーマン時代とか収録、12時間労働
back when I was a salaried employee, twelve-hour recording shifts
- 342.
とか当たり前だったんで、それは分かるん
were completely normal, so I understand that
- 343.
ですよ。でも自分の子供にはそう思って
very well. But I didn’t want my own child to feel
- 344.
欲しくなくて、いつもね、楽しそうに仕事
that way, so I’ve always tried to look like I’m enjoying
- 345.
するように心がけていたら、今回娘がそう
my work, and this time my daughter actually
- 346.
言ってくれたんですよね。ああ、仕事楽し
said that to me. I’m always saying at home, “Ah, work is
- 347.
すぎるって家で言ってますからね、私。
so much fun!”
- 348.
正直ね、楽しくない仕事も当然あるんです
Honestly, of course there are also parts of the job that aren’t fun.
- 349.
よ。だから言われた時はもう心の中で
So when she said that, in my mind I immediately
- 350.
ガッツポーズしました。子供がね、大人に
threw my fist up in triumph. Isn’t it wonderful for a child
- 351.
なることをワクワクできるっていいじゃ
to feel excited about becoming an adult?
- 352.
ないですかね。あとですね、最近私は娘と
Also, lately my daughter and I
- 353.
2人で毎朝筋トレしています。私はね、
work out together every morning. For me,
- 354.
もうただダイエットなんですが、娘は腕を
it’s simply about losing weight, while my daughter apparently wants
- 355.
細くしたいそうで2人仲良くオロチさんの
to slim down her arms, so the two of us happily follow Orochi’s
- 356.
YouTubeを見ながらやっています。

- 357.
その効果もあり、私身長180cmで前は
Thanks in part to that, although at 180 cm tall I used to weigh
- 358.
84kgくらいだったんですが、現在
about 84 kilograms, I’ve now
- 359.
75kmまで絞れて新橋のね、私がやっ
slimmed down to 75 kilograms, and at the place I run in Shinbashi,
- 360.
てるお店で視聴者の常連さんにまあさん
a regular who watches my channel said, “Maa-san,
- 361.
痩せてきましたよねって言われて喜んで
you’ve lost weight, haven’t you?” That made me very
- 362.
おります。是非ね、痩せたまを見たいと
happy. If you’d like to see the slimmer Maa,
- 363.
いう人はお店で一緒に飲みましょう。式
come have a drink with me at the bar. Shiki
