Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Childcare and the children’s behavioral development in the community were investigated in Taramajima island, Okinawa Prefecture. Special attention was given to a traditional custom of childcare by a girl of around 10 years old called Moriane. The results showed that the island is a place of rich allomothering practices including Moriane, and such allomothering practices support and even enrich social networks of the community of the island based on the trust for the caring children, which is quite different from our urban childcare styles. This kind of childcare circumstance was what our urban childcare had in the past and lost now, and gives us an opportunity to reconsider our current practices. However, Moriane has been modified and shrinking these days even in Taramajima, and hence it is necessary to make a follow-up study to consider the change.
