～「おはなしの世界であそぼう」by絵本セラピスト＆アナウンサー近藤麻智子～
おはなしを読み進めながら、まるでその世界に子どもを招き入れて一緒に遊んでいるよう。温かく穏やかな眼差しと優しい声は、絵本を通した豊かなコミュニケーションを作ります。普段は人見知りなんです・・というお母様。いえいえ、麻智子さんが話しかけるなり笑顔できゃっきゃとはしゃぎながらおはなしを楽しんで、その様子に周りも笑顔いっぱい！年齢や月齢に合わせた絵本の読み方のアドバイスなど、お母様とのおしゃべりにも花が咲きました。
It looked as if Machiko-san invited children into the stories and then they were like playing in the stories. Even a child whose mother said was very shy and sometimes cried at the stanger started getting excited, laughing and enjoying himself just after she looked her smily and tender face and she started to tell a story, which made the people around happy. Also she had a chat with some mothers and told them the different ways for different aged children.
