There was a boy in the second grade of elementary school who came to the hospital complaining of pain in the permanent teeth that grew in the back on both sides.The boy had his clothes dirty and he looked like he hadn't been bathed. When I tried to explain the cause of my cavities to my mother, she was engrossed in texting on her cell phone and hung her head in silence.The child seemed quite frightened of the mother. After that, I didn't visit the hospital regularly, and every time I had pain, I came to visit alone.When I came alone, I had a friendly personality. I called the elementary school my child attends to understand the situation, but felt that the response was not sufficient, so I also consulted with the child welfare division of the government.After all, what happened after that is unknown. It seems to be an example of neglect, but according to Mr. Okazaki, "There are one or two children like this in every school." “I think we live in an era where parents’ lack of interest in their children comes out in their mouths.”
A girl who was beaten and lost her front teeth Also, three years ago, in my more than XNUMX years of treatment as a pediatric dentist, I encountered a surprisingly shocking example, saying, "This is the first time I've seen such an unnatural mouth." She was a XNUMX-year-old girl, but she had all her baby teeth and no cavities, but for some reason only her three lower front teeth were missing (left photo). Children often fall and break their front teeth on the ground, but it is usually the upper front teeth that are chipped.Furthermore, it is around the third grade of elementary school that the lower front teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth. When he asked the woman who had brought him, "What happened to you?", the woman whom Mr. Okazaki thought was his mother was an employee of an orphanage. The official replied: "This kid was beaten by his father and lost three of his teeth."
Eating alone has become a problem34Years According to Mr. Okazaki, XNUMX% of the children in juvenile training schools have been abused in some way. Children who were beaten because they were told to "discipline" may, when they become parents, hit their own children in the same way, calling it "discipline."There is such fear. Mr. Okazaki said, ``Children who cannot trust their parents will not be able to trust society when they grow up. It may imply that the number will increase and the country will become even more difficult to live in." As one of the backgrounds of delinquency, Mr. Okazaki worries about the influence of food. It was XNUMX, thirty-four years ago, when NHK took up the problem of eating alone, or eating alone.More than enough time has passed for solitary eating to spread and for the children who grew up to become parents and raise their own children. "Why did this child enter a juvenile training school? I think it might be because he was lonely eating alone. Because he is lonely, he goes out somewhere in the middle of the night and hangs out with bad friends. I don't know if it's the cause of the delinquency."
"Home" with family meals Therefore, Mr. Okazaki thinks it is important to have meals together as a family. "The Japanese word 'ie' was pronounced 'ihe' in the olden days. 'I' is a prefix and 'he' means 'hettsui', a furnace. , ``Eat rice from the same pot'' made in a kamado, and creating a community of destiny by eating together. Getting everyone together to eat can be difficult.Mr. Okazaki explained that it is important to have a common understanding that "it is important for the family to eat together," even if the family only eats together once a week.
