Hello. We are pleased to announce the upcoming Nicotto! Live session, brought to you by "Nicotto! Juku," an online parenting support塾 where the more common sense mothers discard, the closer children get to their dreams. In recent years, surveys by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have shown an increasing trend in the number of students absent from school, drawing attention as a social issue. Particularly during periods of environmental change such as moving up a grade or changing schools, children's anxiety and stress tend to increase, sometimes leading to reluctance to attend school or decreased motivation. On the other hand, preparations for the new school year often focus on external measures like "reviewing daily routines" and "recalling studies," while how to engage with a child's anxiety is often overlooked.

Therefore, this online live session will focus on children's anxiety, which tends to heighten before moving up a grade or changing schools, and will teach parents how to interact with their children at home. For the first time in this live session, with an announcer moderating, we will present a compilation of content related to "ways to interact that foster children's confidence" from past highly acclaimed Nicotto! live sessions. By organizing and receiving the content from previous sessions, participants will gain clarity on where to start and be provided with an opportunity to translate their pre-new school year anxieties into concrete actions.

Before the significant changes of moving up a grade or changing schools, fostering interactions that turn anxiety into confidence, rather than trying to suppress it, can help support children's adaptation to school life and their proactive behavior. We hope this live session will provide hints for finding ways to interact that suit each child individually.

What you will gain from this live session ・A perspective to turn pre-transition anxiety into "It's Okay." ・Ways to interact that draw out a child's sense of "I can do it." ・Hints for encouragement in daily life that leads to confidence. ・Home strategies to prevent reluctance to attend school.

Recommended for ・Those who feel their child's anxiety is intensifying with the approach of moving up a grade or changing schools. ・Those concerned about their child's reluctance to attend school or adaptation in the new school year. ・Those who want to know how to interact to foster their child's confidence. ・Those struggling with how to support children with developmental characteristics or sensitivities.
