こんにちは、Japanese with Yoshikoへようこそ！早くも2月の中旬になりましたね。私が住んでいる場所ではたまに25°を超える日が出てきて、汗ばむ季節になってきました。今日は「日本とサウジの子育ての違い」についてお話しします。皆さんの国の子育てと比較してみましょう。

日本とサウジの子育ては360度違うといっても過言ではありません。その理由は主に3つあります。まず子供の人数が全然違います。今の時代だと日本では1人から3人です。サウジだと5人くらいは普通です。私たちの世代だと兄弟が8人、親世代だと12人なんてことも珍しくはありません。そのため、メイドを雇って家事や子供の相手を手伝ってもらいます。お金に余裕がある場合は、子供が二人でママが働いていない場合でも雇います。フィリピン人が多いです。公園に行くとよくメイドが子供たちと遊んで、親がマットでくつろいでいるのを見かけます。近くに住む家族も子供の面倒を見てくれます。一方、日本ではお金に余裕があって、共働きで、子供が2-3人いてもメイドやシッターを頼むのは稀です。また、家族と離れて暮らしているケースも多いです。なので、日本の親、特にママはあまり心の余裕がなかったり、夫婦二人だけで出かけるのは難しかったりします。
二つ目は、学校の時間・送り迎えが異なります。日本では、8:30ごろからスタートします。基本的に子供だけで徒歩や自転車、公共交通機関などで通学します。給食が出ます。最近は共働きの家庭が多いので、誰もいない家に1人で帰ってくる子供も多いです。サウジの場合は朝7時ごろに学校が始まります。小さな子供が外を歩くのは危険ですし、夏は暑すぎるので、車やスクールバスで通学します。朝ごはんやスナックを学校で食べて、1時ごろに学校が終わります。ランチは家で食べるのが普通です。働いている親は休憩時間などに迎えに行かなければなりません。
最後に生活スタイルの違いです。日本の家族は基本的に朝型で、朝から公園などに出かける場合が多いです。サウジの人は朝ゆっくりしたいので、天気が良くても午後から出かける場合が多いです。週末になると家族などの集まりがあり、子供たちも夜遅くまで起きています。夜型の人が多いので、いろんな施設が深夜まで開いています。

どうでしたか？サウジでは夕方から公園がとても混むので、私たち家族は天気が良ければなるべく早く公園に行きます。時々、アラブのマットを敷いてそのうえでピクニックしたり、おもちゃで遊んでゆっくりすることもありますよ！それでは、みなさんまたね～！

【今日の質問の解答】
①フィリピン人
②車やスクールバス
③サウジの学校

Living in the moment vs. living in the future

FLO TALKS 

While the focus of job interviews is typically on skills, experience, and cultural fit, understanding the potential for micromanagement can be a strategic advantage. By recognizing the signs of a micromanager during the interview process, candidates can make informed decisions about accepting a position.

A micromanager often exhibits specific behaviors during interviews. They might excessively inquire about minute details of past roles, demonstrating a potential for future over-involvement. Overemphasis on control, rather than outcomes, could be another red flag. Conversely, candidates who have experienced micromanagement can leverage their insights during interviews. They can highlight their ability to work independently, problem-solving skills, and resilience in challenging environments.

Preparing for potential micromanagement involves understanding your own tolerance for control. Reflect on past experiences and identify your preferred work style. During the interview, ask questions that reveal the company's management style. Inquire about team autonomy, decision-making processes, and performance expectations. By proactively addressing this issue, candidates can increase the likelihood of finding a suitable work environment and avoid falling victim to micromanagement.

Ultimately, recognizing the potential for micromanagement is a valuable tool for job seekers. By being prepared and asking the right questions, candidates can make informed decisions about their career paths and increase their chances of finding a fulfilling and productive role.
