Poor facial expressions of children entering kindergarten Worried about the effects of "brain fatigue" During the lecture, Ms. Kozaki slowly began by saying, "When I think about the future of my children, I can't sit still in kindergarten." It has been XNUMX years since I started working with children at Futaba Kindergarten.Ms. Kozaki said that in the midst of the drastic changes in the social environment surrounding children, such as nuclear families, information technology, and urbanization, young mothers are confused and "have lost sight of child-rearing." Ms. Kozaki believes that "children are treasures of the family and treasures of the nation at the same time."For Mr. Kozaki, there is no end to his worries about children these days. Mr. Kozaki first mentioned "brain fatigue" as one of them. "Children who enter kindergarten do not have facial expressions." "Brain fatigue" is an unfamiliar word, but Dr. Takehiko Fujino, Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University and Doctor of Medicine, who talked with Mr. Kozaki in Mr. Kozaki's book "Miracle Kindergarten Method to Create a Smart Brain by the Age of XNUMX", It is a concept that has been advocated for twenty-five years.
Toxic substances and strong stress are one of the causes of children's developmental disorders Excessive exercise causes muscle fatigue, so when the brain is overwhelmed with information and excessive stress is applied, the neocortex and the old cortex of the cerebrum separate, which causes the diencephalon to become confused.This is called “brain fatigue,” and is said to trigger lifestyle-related diseases and psychosomatic disorders. In a dialogue recorded in the book, Mr. Fujino explained that if a pregnant mother ingests harmful substances such as dioxin through food, or if she is under strong stress and secretes excessive adrenal cortical hormones, the baby's brain will be damaged. warns that there is a risk of malfunction. For example, if a pregnant mother is stressed at home or at work, her eating habits are disturbed, and she frequently eats fast food with a strong and stimulating flavor, various additives may be added. etc. will take in chemicals. It is said that the chemical substances sent to the baby along with nutrition are one of the factors that cause developmental disorders such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and physical disabilities. Mother's brain fatigue is making children also brain fatigue. Mr. Fujino points out that mothers who have suffered from brain fatigue may develop "a syndrome of not being able to love their children," reversing their feelings of self-blame for not being able to love their own children, and possibly leading to abuse. Then, what kind of improvement measures are there for diet and stress that cause brain fatigue?I will explain through the efforts of Futaba Kindergarten evaluated by Mr. Fujino.
Increase in hypothermia and allergies Convince yourself of the importance of food At Futaba Kindergarten, we emphasize the three basics of a child's life: food, play, and sleep. "Eat a lot, play a lot, sleep well." More than XNUMX years ago, Mr. Kozaki noticed that the body temperature of children was low. “One of the reasons why I started working on food is the body temperature of children. Children have a normal temperature of XNUMX to XNUMX degrees. is" In addition, it has become possible to see children who come to kindergarten stare at one point, their expressions are blank, their eyes are watering, and they are unable to calmly listen to what they have to say. The number of children with allergic symptoms such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and rhinitis was also increasing. When I said "Good morning" to one of the children I was worried about, a sweet smell came out of my mouth.When I asked her what she had eaten, she replied, "Melon bread and juice." After that, when I asked the child what he ate every morning, I found out that he didn't eat rice, just the type of bread and drink changed. Then, Mr. Kozaki instinctively thought that food might be the cause, and as he listened to the stories of various experts, he became convinced of the importance of food. "The brain uses carbohydrates as energy. Sweets are rapidly sent to the brain, and blood sugar rises rapidly. Then, insulin works to lower it. Then (hypoglycemia occurs). I crave sweets again. If you do that over and over again, you'll quickly get irritated and get irritated. That's because you're consuming too much sugar.” “On the other hand, rice contains a good balance of carbohydrates. If you eat it while chewing it well, (sugars) will be sent to your brain slowly, so you will develop persistence and endurance.”
