Abstract
In childcare, we consider a child and unconsciously relate to her/him. The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationship between a child and me. The observation of this interrelationship should be very useful for understanding childhood care. My journal of childcare was analyzed and examined. The result shows that information about the child obtained through its relationship with me modified my idea about the child and subsequently affected the relationship between us. It is very difficult to point out a particular cause because the idea is a complex one interrelated with action. However, this research would provide an important perspective to consider my own childcare.
