Their World, Our World - Reflections on Childhood (Hardcover, New)

He shows contrasts with typical adult views and draws implications for parenting, childcare, and education.

Yamamoto emphasizes the need to appreciate the inside-out outlook of children. This perspective is unique, along with his interpretation and integration of seemingly diverse information. Throughout the work, he presents arguments for thoughtful child care and meaningful education, and is supportive of parental initiative and discretion.
