night in childhood8Go to bed on time Brain cells actively divide during sleep
　Regarding the importance of getting enough sleep, he quoted the proverb, "Children who sleep grow up." important,” he explained.
　In his book, "Miracle Kindergarten Method to Create a Smart Brain by the Age of XNUMX," the three trillion cells in the human body at birth repeatedly divide as they grow, and by the age of XNUMX, the number of cells increases by XNUMX times to six. There are XNUMX trillion, but most of them are formed by the age of XNUMX, and by the age of XNUMX, they are almost the same as adults.
　And it is during sleep that serotonin and melatonin, which are required by the brain, are actively split, and that they are produced during sleep even in the dark.
　Based on the latest knowledge of modern science, I advise children to go to bed by XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. and get at least XNUMX hours of sleep.
　However, I was told that I could go to bed at XNUMX o'clock when I was six years old when I entered elementary school.
　Another thing to watch out for is taking babies and toddlers out in areas that are clearly lit by artificial lights at night.
　“Mothers today have no idea how taking their baby out late at night will affect their future.

2Begin toilet training by age　3Remove diapers by age
　In addition to "eating a lot, playing a lot, and sleeping well," Mr. Kozaki emphasizes that "there is a critical period for upbringing and upbringing."
　A simple example is diapers.I think many mothers worry about when they should remove diapers.
　Kozaki wrote in his book:
　"Toilet training is very important for a child's mental health, and it also contributes to the growth and stability of the brain. Start potty training by the age of XNUMX at the latest, and remove diapers by the age of XNUMX."
　In addition, at the same time, we promote the habit of putting on and taking off clothes and excretion, and the habit of going to bed early, waking up early, and having breakfast, which are the guide lines of the life rhythm. We are in a critical period.
　In the lecture, Ms. Kozaki prefaced the lecture by saying, "Actually," and told her that diapers should be removed "until the age of two at the latest."
　According to Ms. Kozaki, "Children who come in diapers can't see their surroundings. They are dazed."However, "as soon as you take off the diaper, you start to see the surroundings as if you've peeled off the skin."

The basis of human development is in infancy, even left-handedness3to fix by age
　"It's very important to take off the diaper," but when it comes to TV commercials that advertise "paper diapers for big kids," it seems that people tend to procrastinate.
　Originally, Ms. Kozaki recommends cloth diapers over disposable diapers, which do not cause discomfort when soiled by excretion, and are difficult to connect to toilet training because they do not experience discomfort.
　In addition, paper diapers are not so much for the benefit of children, but rather because they are "troublesome" and "dirty" compared to cloth diapers, and "parents use them to make things easier". It is also important to point out that no
　Then, what happens after the critical period of three years old that Mr. Kozaki calls has passed?
　This may be an extreme example, but it is said that a first-grade elementary school child was playing with poop in his pants and letting the smell puff up.In addition, it seems that some children cannot go on school trips because bedwetting does not go away easily.
　"I can't sit still in my chair.30It is said that % has such a "small problem".In the first semester, most of the first-year teachers are having a hard time because they don't get to study because they spend a lot of time teaching about life."
　Mr. Kozaki emphasizes that "the foundation of human development lies in infancy." , I am involved with the children on a daily basis, keeping in mind their upbringing.”
　Regarding the left-handedness of children, it seems that it is not necessary to correct it because it is a personality, but it is said that they think about social life such as writing letters in the process of growing up and correct it by the age of three.
