産前産後保育♡慣らし保育で気付いた娘の性格
第二子の出産にあたり「産前産後保育」を利用することにしました。わが家の場合は出産までの２ヶ月と産後２ヶ月の計４ヶ月です。
Our second baby’s due date is getting closer and we have decided to leave our daughter at a nursery school for 4 months before and after giving birth.
６月１日から始まった「慣らし保育」。長くても２週間かな〜と思っていたのですが...なんと１ヶ月かかりました。
There is a "gradual entry" in the school to allow children to adjust to a new environment and it usually takes one or two weeks. We started the gradual entry from 1st of June and took 1 month…
最初の２週間は午前中２時間保護者完全同伴。妊娠後期のお腹を抱えながら登園。１歳半の娘は私の側から離れません。
In the first two weeks, my daughter went to the school for 2 hours in the morning accompanied by a parent. Although I was in the late stage of pregnancy, I spent all time with my daughter at the school.
数日すると他の子供たちが私の膝に乗ったり話しかけてきたり。靴を履かせて欲しい、本を読んで欲しいと...できる範囲で対応しました。
A few days later, other children got used to me and they jumped up on my lap, spoke to me. They asked me to wear shoses, read books… I responded their requests as much as I could.
次の１週間は午前中２時間のお預かり。4週目にお昼寝から起きる12-13時ごろまでに延びて、最後の週はオヤツを食べて15:30のお迎えでした。
The 3rd week, my daughter spent 2 hours in the morning at the school without me. I picked up her around 12-13 p.m. after she took a nap during the 4th week. The last week of June, the school time has been extended to 15:30.
すでに臨月に入っており、７月から送迎は夫にバトンタッチ。まだ完全には慣れない娘のために早めに迎えに来て欲しいと保育園から要請。
I will deliver a baby in July, so my husband drives my daughter to the nursery school everyday from this month. The school asked him to rearrange his work schedule and pick her up before 5 p.m. since she is not still used to the environment…
多忙な夫は毎日定時前に退勤するのは難しいので、娘には少し酷ですができる範囲で対応したいと思っています。
My husband is busy with work and it is difficult to take hourly paid leave every day. I feel sorry for my daughter, but we will do as best as we can.
［慣らし保育 gradual entry：よかったこと Good points］
・娘のペースに合わせて進められたこと Took my daughter’s time and we could go at her pace.
・新しい環境に馴染むのに時間がかかるのがわかったこと Found that it takes time for my daughter to get used to a new environment.
・預け先の保育園の環境がわかったこと Knew the environment of the nursery school.
・同世代の子供たちの様子がわかったこと Saw the growth of children around the same age of my daughter
［悩んだこと What I was worried about］
・娘が馴染めなかった場合にどうするか If she is not used to the nursery school, how can we manage it?
・コロナ禍に私が園内に長時間滞在していいのか Can I stay at the nursery school for a long time under the current situation with COVID-19?
・保育士免許を持ってない私が他の子供たちの相手をしていいのか Can I take care of other children even though I do not have a license of a nursery school teacher?
出産前にどうにか１日保育園で過ごせるようになってよかったです。娘が保育園で心身ともに健康で、お友達や先生と元気に毎日過ごせることを心から願っています。
Anyway, I felt better that my daughter became to spend her time in the nursery school without us. I hope she stay healthy both mentally and physically, and enjoy her time at the school with her teachers and friends.
いつもの幸せに心から感謝。ありがとう。
I appreciate a common day like today. Thanks.
