In line with the MEXT curriculum, students learned about maternity and child care.
We invited a guest from Gushikawa Nursing School to lecture on childbirth and proper care for a newborn baby.
Moment of Birth
Our guest demonstrated how babies are born, using a model.
Let’s review the whole process
We learned how a baby grows inside the mother.
We also learned how a baby is vulnerable against a variety of risks.
Feeling the actual weight
Students learned about difficulties faced by expecting mothers.
Even simple tasks, like picking a pen up off the floor, can be very difficult.
Diaper Change!
One of the highlights for moms and dads is changing a baby’s diaper. Our guest demonstrated how.
Be on the watch for any unexpected fires!!
Bathing Time
And finally… students took turns trying to bathe a newborn.
Things requiring us to be extra careful include… water temperature, holding the baby just right — and so much more.
