Nurturing Children through Family Involvement Rather Than External Environment: How to Raise 'Children Who Thrive in Any Environment' by Developmental Science Communication Instructors Residing in Canada [April 29]

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 anytime. "Nicotto! Juku" will hold an online live event on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM JST, on the theme "Children can grow even without going abroad: How to replicate world-standard parenting at home." Details: https://desc-lab.com/nicotto202201/?prt0429 Hello. We are pleased to announce the "Nicotto! Live" event, brought to you by "Nicotto! Juku," an online parenting school where children can get closer to their dreams as much as their mothers shed conventional wisdom. About one month has passed since the new school year began. This period, when children's environments change significantly due to class changes, new teachers, and new friendships, is often when more parents feel anxious, wondering, "My child doesn't want to go to school," "Their emotions are unstable," or "Is this environment really okay?" Especially for children in the developmental gray zone, they are susceptible to stress from environmental changes. It's not uncommon for parents to seek the cause in the environment itself, thinking, "If only they had a more suitable school," "If only we lived in a more urban area," or "If only we were abroad." However, what significantly affects a child's development and self-esteem is the way they are involved with their family, where they spend the longest hours of their daily lives. Precisely because it's difficult to change the environment immediately, many parents reconsider the support they can provide at home. Therefore, this time, we will hold an online live event on the theme, "How to replicate 'world-standard parenting' at home." Two Developmental Science Communication Trainers, who are currently raising children in Canada and practicing approaches that foster child development at home, will be speaking. The instructors are Yayoi Umemura, a Developmental Science Communication Master Trainer specializing in supporting ADHD children who struggle with emotional control, and Mutsumi Otani. From their position, knowing both Japanese and Canadian child-rearing environments, they have come to realize that children's difficulties cannot be solved by environment alone. Even in Canada, which has an educational culture that respects individuality, parental involvement within the home significantly impacts a child's emotional stability and self-efficacy. During the live event, they will share their positive experiences with parenting abroad and insights into world-standard parenting that can also be adopted in Japan, along with brain-science-backed approaches to interaction. Even if the environment cannot be changed, the way parents interact can be changed starting today. We hope this live event will provide hints for families struggling with current parenting, helping them take that first step. 【What you will gain from this live event】 - Brain-science-backed ways to raise children who thrive in any environment. - Letting go of the misconception that "environment is everything" and learning concrete home support methods. - Daily communication and interaction methods to nurture children's emotional stability and self-esteem. 【Recommended for these individuals】 - Those who feel their child's condition has started to decline since the new school year. - Parents who are anxious about their child's school or class environment. - Those who are struggling with how to interact with children in the developmental gray zone. - Those who have lost confidence in parenting, thinking, "If only we had a better environment." - Those who want to know concrete methods of home support. 【Instructor Introduction】 Yayoi Umemura Developmental Science Communication Master Trainer Resides in Canada.
