In this article, I considered how childcare workers perceive children'sfeelings with their senses. In order to consider part of this aim, I looked at the relationship between how childcare workers who told us about children's feelings in middle voice, and her/his senses. I studied works by Bin Kimura and Masakazu Yamazaki. As a result of these studies, it was revealed that the corporeality of the one who talks about an object in middle voice is united with it. Based on this result, I think a childcare worker, who tells us about children's feelings in middle voice, senses it through the function of inter-corporeality, and she/he senses their corporeality using five senses. I think this is how children and childcare workers communicate well with each other.
