＼ April 2020 reprint adds the latest information on "development" and "childcare"! ／
● Regarding sleep considerations, baby food, and breastfeeding, we've revised the explanations and revised the expressions and terminology based on recent developmental research and childcare practices.
● Regarding sex education from early childhood (childcare that values the body), we've added a column titled "When should sex education start?" and references.
● New references, including the "Japan Association of Childcare Workers' Code of Ethics" and the "Convention on the Rights of the Child," have been added as basic childcare resources.

A practical guide to enriching childcare content.
Drawing on their daily practices, childcare workers will explain eye-opening new childcare methods for each stage of preschool children's development, primarily to childcare workers, kindergarten teachers, and parents who share the same concerns.
This book explains each developmental stage of preschoolers from a developmental perspective, including "whole body development," "physiological function," and "motor development," as well as from a childcare perspective, including "childcare support (health, daily rhythm, etc.)" and "play support (exercise, language, complex activities, etc.)."
The book uses plenty of illustrations and columns, making it easy to understand.
Reader Feedback
- It's very easy to read, and even I, who am not good at reading, was able to read it easily.
- I can easily recall the contents while I'm working on childcare and apply them to my teaching.
- I share the contents of the columns with parents. Many are very anxious, but just telling them puts them at ease. I always make sure to have new staff read it too.
- The "for example..." examples make it easy to put into practice.
It's also very helpful when writing lesson plans!
