Summary It is no exaggeration to say that deciding how much to praise and how much to scold while raising and disciplining children is an eternal issue for parents and teachers. This survey focused mainly on parents by asking children to share details about their experiences of being praised and scolded by their guardians. The survey sought to answer the following questions: When and to what extent are children praised or scolded by their fathers and mothers? In what ways do parents praise and scold? Are children (dis)satisfied with the way they are scolded and praised? What kind of scolding do children tolerate best? Based on the survey results, the report clarifies these questions in detail. The survey also examined the extent to which children are praised or scolded by adult community members other than their parents.
 The latter half of the report analyzes children’s experiences of being scolded particularly harshly. Recently, child abuse has become a social problem. In light of this situation, our research has sought to ascertain the extent to which children experience severe scolding from their parents. In service of this endeavor, we have captured children’s real voices in the form of unencumbered descriptions of their scolding experiences including their parents’ methods of scolding.
