Amazon作品詳細
[About the Book]
Your child seems restless at home.
They struggle to fall asleep at night.
You may not know why, but somehow they don’t seem fully at ease.
These signs may not be about parenting style or personality.
They may be connected to the environment of the home itself.
This book gently explores how the spaces we live in—our homes—shape a child’s emotions, sensitivity, memories, and independence. Through concrete examples of living environments, it invites readers to rethink what a home means from a child’s perspective.
Not a completely closed-off room, but a space where the presence of family can be felt.
Rooms that change in meaning as a child grows.
A home where layers of family memories quietly accumulate.
With clarity and warmth, the book explains what makes an ideal home for children.
A home is the place where family memories are most deeply engraved. The smells, sounds, and sense of security experienced in childhood never truly fade, even in adulthood.
What kind of home is best for a child?
What do children feel and seek within their living space?
This book offers gentle answers to these questions—from the child’s point of view.
Recommended for parents raising children, those considering buying a home, and anyone interested in supporting children’s growth and well-being.
