Developmental experts don't ask, "Why can't you do it?"

'Why can't you do it? 'Actually, it may have the opposite effect

Homework.

Clean up.

Preparing in the morning.

Just

"Why can't you do it?"

"Why don't you do it?"

Do you ever hear that?

But actually...

Children themselves may not understand the reason.

As a speech therapist, I am conscious of being involved with children,

not looking for a reason

"Looking for trouble."

For example...

❌ why can't you?

⭕ was difficult?

❌ why not?

⭕ What to do first?

❌ Why did you forget?

⭕ hard to forget?

The question of blaming the child

Sometimes we stop the power to think.

But, uh,

If you change it to a question to think together,

✔ easy to talk about trouble.

✔ easy to think of solutions yourself

✔ easily lead to action

Rather than changing your child,

Change the question.

That just changes the conversation 🌱

He said this 😳.

If you think so, please save and look back 📌

May your parenting be a little easier 🌱

... Read more私も3人の子どもを育てる母親として、記事で紹介されている「なんでできないの?」という聞き方をやめてみた経験があります。ついイライラしてしまいがちな宿題や片付けの場面でも、責める言葉ではなく「どこが難しかった?」「最初に何からやる?」と声をかけると、子ども自身が自分の課題を整理しやすくなりました。 例えば、次男が学校の宿題に取り組む時、以前は「なんで宿題やらないの?」と言っていましたが、ある日「宿題の中でどこが一番難しかった?」と聞いてみたところ、本人から「漢字がわからなくて止まってた」と具体的な悩みが出てきました。そこから一緒に漢字の練習をする工夫を考えることで、彼の自信もつき、次第に宿題に前向きに取り組むようになりました。 また、忘れ物が多かった長男にも「どうしたら忘れにくいかな?」と聞いてみると、彼は「前の晩にランドセルに必要なものを入れて朝見直す」方法を思いつき、それを実践しています。自分で考えた方法だからこそ長続きし、忘れ物が激減しました。 発達支援の現場でも、このように子どもの視点に立って困っている点にフォーカスし、解決策を一緒に考えることが重視されます。親や支援者が「できない理由」を追及するのではなく、「できない部分をともに探して対応策を考える」ことにより、子どもの自己肯定感や自立心を育てることができるのです。 私の経験からも、質問の仕方を少し変えるだけで、子どもとのコミュニケーションが明るくなり、子育てのストレスも減りました。親として大切なのは、すぐに答えを求めず、子どもに考える時間をプレゼントし、小さな成功体験を共に喜ぶことです。この方法をぜひ今日から取り入れてみてほしいです。子どもが自分のペースで成長していく姿を見守ることが、親子の笑顔につながると実感しています。

If you’re using a toddler tower, don’t assume it’s automatically safe.

Here’s what to look for:
 * Heavy, sturdy base * No easy tool-free adjustments * Top rail higher than your child’s belly button * Tight screws + flat surface use only

Ever wonder what to do when your toddler points or grunts instead of using words? 👏 Acknowledge. 🗣 Model the word. ❤️ Keep it pressure-free. They’re communicating — and that’s a great thing! With time, connection, and practice, those grunts can grow into real words. 🧠✨ #SpeechDevelopment
