Shitsuke: The Japanese technique of mindful parenting

Shitsuke is a Japanese parenting approach emphasizing gentle, consistent instruction and daily routines to foster internalised social competence. When combined with mindful parenting, it promotes predictable structures, calm modelling and skill-building, leading to better child adjustment and reduced parental stress. This method gradually removes adult control as children learn self-management.
