Stomack should be 80%

In Japan, there is a word, Hara(stomach) Hachibunme(80%). I hear that this is a word in a book written in the Edo period. When you eat, you shoud not eat until you get full, you should stop at about 80%. By doing so, it seems that you can maintain good health. The average life span of Japanese people is known to be long. I introduced Japanese saying.
Can you tolerate 80%?

Miso pan (bread)

  Miso bread is sold in my hometown. This is something that contains miso in the bread. I think that many people know miso soup, but few people know miso bread. Actually, even Japanese people may not know miso bread so much. My wife is from a nearby prefecture, but I did not know miso bread. My son likes miso bread and eats it well.

Kindergarten

   My child has turned 3 years old. From April this year, kindergarten will begin. It is supposed to be in kindergarten or nursery school before elementary school. Japanese parents have to choose between entering kindergarten or putting them into nurseries from an earlier age after the child is 3 years old. In recent years, Japanese economy is not good, so parents of dual acts have increased. There are also such circumstances, it seems that there are many parents to put in nursery school. In my home, we decided to put it in kindergarten from the idea that we want my son to have as long as possible contact time with his mother. My wife has no friends around my house. Because parenting stress tends to accumulate, I think that she can make as many friends as possible after children enter kindergarten.
In Japan, kindergarten starts in April. Elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools and other schools all begin in April. The time when school begins may vary from country to country. As the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in April, Japanese people think of the scenery where cherry blossoms bloom when it says entrance ceremony.
When writing this sentence, I used the Google's translation function. I found some words that I needed to correct. But almost of all sentenses may be OK.
