Abstract
There are two ways to research children's time and space in daily fife. One is the way from the objective point of view, for example, searching the distribution or flow of daily time of children, and discussing the problems of those distributions or flow of children's daily life. Another one is from the subjective point of view. Using this latter way, we discuss the subjective sense grasped by children of the time or space existing in front of them. Until now most research uses the objective approach to study children's time and space in daily life. This article argues for the importance of the latter method for analysis of children's time and space in daily life because if we adopt only the former method, we are apt to apply adult views in spite of the children's own thoughts or views of their time and space in daily life. For this investigation, we need the concept of inner consciousness of time or space or subjective sense apart from objective meaning. It is important to use these concepts to analyze children's time and space in daily life.
