This paper examines how child-rearing behaviors are culturally constructed by focusingon Chinese and Korean foreign student families whose children are attending Japanese day-care centers. Data were obtained from interviews with nine Chinese foreign student families and twelve Korean foreign student families in the Japanese language; the interviews were conducted from September, 1994 to July, 1996. The data analysis has uncovered shifts in the relation between the two subordinate systems of child-rearing behaviors: 1) child-rearing act system, and 2) child-rearing belief system. Usually the two systems are closely related, and the acts correspond with underlying beliefs in one's own cultural environment. However, one-third of the participant mothers were found to have experienced a gap between the Japanese child-rearing act system and their original cultural belief system. An example is dressing. In Japan, children wear just a few layers in winter, whereas Chinese and Korean children are covered with thick clothes. The mothers follow the instructions of Japanese day-care centers in the area of child-caring such as clothing and toilet training, though psychological mismatch remains, especially in clothing. Another important finding is an altered view and/or lifestyle of the Korean mothers living in Japan, which has not observed among the Chinese counterpart. The Chinese mothers share the cultural ideal-image of a mother as one person and already know how to share the child-caring tasks with day-care centers. In contrast, the Korean mothers, who hold individually different ideal-images of a mother, have to individually learn one's position in relation to the day-care centers. Thus, child-rearing practices do not only involve culturally constructed child-caring R strategies but also embrace cultural views of mother's own life.
