Title: Research on Contents to Support Parents with Small Children in their Medical and Language Education: Implementation and Primary Assessment through "Serious Games"

Amount: ¥1,868,000

We clarified the knowledge and the methology of simultaneous education of Japanese language and health care for young parents having small children. We also pointed out that the lack of knowledge of dietary education increases the difficulty in fostering children.
