6Taste education that you want to cultivate by age Even if you don't like it, it's fine with friends
　Kozaki believes that the critical period for upbringing and upbringing is at age six and nine, in addition to age three.
　What I want to cultivate by the age of XNUMX is judgment of right and wrong, awareness of the existence of friends, awareness of life, cooperation and independence, and taste education.
　From an early age, we have become accustomed to the taste of chemical seasonings and additives when eating meals with many processed foods such as fast food and frozen foods. You won't know the difference.
　In her book, Ms. Kozaki says, ``Children like curry and rice, spaghetti, hamburgers, and pizza, but they don't like Japanese food.
　On top of that, ``If you teach the children how to make traditional Japanese food that brings out the umami of the ingredients, by properly preparing the dashi stock, simmering the vegetables and dried foods carefully, the children will be happy to eat a lot.''
　At first, even children who don't want to eat the side dishes they don't like will start eating them when they see their friends eating them in kindergarten and think, 'Let's try eating them together.' bottom.
　In fact, the next day, when I was interviewed at a kindergarten, I witnessed a child silently eating a three-minute portion of rice and a lot of vegetables, even though it took a long time.
　In fact, I was told that the child had autistic tendencies, and until he came to kindergarten, he only ate sweets at home and didn't even eat rice properly.Recently, I heard that she started to say words that she hadn't used before.
　Young children do not care at all about the disabilities of other children.It was imagined that they became more active in their lives not only during school lunch hours but also by playing outside together.
　I could really feel that this is what Ms. Kozaki calls "bringing up children together = the power of group education."

Babies should keep their skin, and young children should keep their hands.1Childcare at home until age
　In addition to talking about the critical period, Mr. Kozaki emphasizes the "four principles of child-rearing."
　baby skin
　don't let go of the baby
　keep an eye on the children
　young man don't let go
　Especially for infants under the age of XNUMX, I preach in my book that ``babies should not be separated from their mothers for at least XNUMX year,'' just as it says, ``Don't let go of your skin.''
　Babies of wild animals begin to stand and walk immediately after being born, but human babies, which are said to be "physiologically premature," do not.
　He was born a year early and immature, so he cries all the time and calls his mother.Ms. Kozaki says that she would be worried every day if she was sent to a nursery school when she was three months old.
　If it is difficult to respond to the needs of the baby at the nursery school, the baby who tried to convey various feelings with facial expressions and actions from about two months after birth will stop using such expressions and become a "silent baby" who lacks emotional expression. It has been pointed out that
　When such a silent baby grows, it seems that it becomes difficult to communicate with the surroundings, and there is a high possibility of causing problems such as withdrawal and repeated self-harm.
　That said, in reality there are some difficulties due to various family circumstances and systems, but Ms. Kozaki says, ``The country and society regard the hardships of mothers raising children as highly valuable, We should recognize its status as a great existence that nurtures treasure.” (From his book).
　If a child can be well cared for at home until the age of one, from the age of two onwards it will grow even more in a group.
　Normally, children enter kindergarten in the spring when they are three years old, but Futaba Kindergarten accepts children from two years old, taking family circumstances into consideration.
