Children's 'tantrums' increase in the new school year: From 'response' to 'prevention,' explaining how to reduce the burden on parents and children [April 8th Online]

Pastel Communication Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kayoko Yoshino) operates "Nicotto! Juku," an online parenting school where mothers raising children with developmental disabilities or in the "gray zone" can learn and consult at any time. On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM, Nicotto! Juku will hold an online live event titled "Tantrums Can Be Prevented! How to Nurture the Brain to Make the New School Year Easier for Gray Zone Children." Details: https://desc-lab.com/nicotto202201/?prt0408 Hello. We are pleased to announce the upcoming Nicotto! Live event, brought to you by "Nicotto! Juku," an online parenting school where children can get closer to their dreams for every conventional wisdom mothers discard. In recent years, surveys by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have shown that the number of truant students continues to reach record highs, and issues related to children's school adaptation are becoming serious. In the background, many cases show reluctance to attend school and emotional instability, which can manifest as "tantrums" and "irritability" at home. While such behaviors are often seen as mere problem behaviors, it is also pointed out that the accumulation of stress and anxiety may be a contributing factor. The new school year, in particular, is a time when children's burden tends to increase due to environmental changes, and these signs are likely to appear strongly. Therefore, this time, we will hold an online live event on the theme of "Tantrums Can Be Prevented! How to Nurture the Brain to Make the New School Year Easier for Gray Zone Children." The speaker will be Nagisa Nakada, a Developmental Science Communication Trainer. Ms. Nakada herself has experienced intense tantrums in her child and troubles both inside and outside the home. By practicing Developmental Science Communication, she felt an improvement in her parent-child relationship in just a few months. Based on her real-life experience, she now provides support activities for parents facing similar challenges. In this live event, we will explain the changes that occur in children, which are the background to why tantrums and irritability tend to increase in the new school year. We will also present a preventive perspective: instead of "responding after a tantrum occurs," we will focus on "creating a state where tantrums are less likely to occur beforehand." Furthermore, we will introduce positive interaction methods that can be practiced in daily life and ways of thinking about support tailored to the child's condition. Tantrums are not considered to occur spontaneously but are often the result of accumulated stress and emotions. Therefore, it is important to look at the underlying conditions rather than suppressing the behavior itself. By understanding how to interact according to the child's characteristics and condition, it is expected to reduce the burden on both parents and children and lay the foundation for a safe and secure new school year. We hope this live event will be of some help. ■ What you can gain from this live event ・Why tantrums and irritability tend to increase in the new school year ・The concept of creating a state where tantrums are less likely to occur ・Positive interaction methods that can increase positive emotions, starting today ・A perspective on considering "the support my child needs now" ■ Recommended for ・Parents struggling with how to deal with their child's tantrums and irritability ・Those who feel anxious about changes in their child's environment as the new school year approaches ・Those who are experimenting without knowing the correct way to interact ・Those who want to know support methods tailored to their child's characteristics ■ Lecturer Introduction Nagisa Nakada (Developmental Science Communication Trainer) While struggling with her own child's intense tantrums and troubles, she learned Developmental Science Communication and reevaluated her approach, achieving an improvement in her parent-child relationship.
