Addressing Elementary School Separation Anxiety: Beyond 'Forced Separation' - Grade-Specific Support for School Accompaniment Issues [June 17]

Pastel Communication Co., Ltd. (HQ: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Kayoko Yoshino), operator of 'Nicotto! Juku'—an online parenting school for mothers raising children with developmental disorders or in the 'gray zone'—will host an online live session on June 17, 2026 (Wed) at 12:00 PM. The theme is 'Grade-Specific Home Support Techniques to Keep Children with Separation Anxiety from Becoming School Non-Attenders.'

In recent years, school non-attendance has been on the rise, with the latest MEXT survey showing a record 354,000 students categorized as non-attenders.

Rather than rushing to practice 'separation,' it is crucial to reframe persistent requests for 'Mom, come here' as signs that anxiety is paralyzing the child's ability to act. In this session, developmental science communication trainers will share actionable 'steps for this week' tailored to the specific needs of children from lower to upper elementary grades.

Participation requires free membership registration, and the first month of use is free. Archived recordings will be available for viewing at a later date.
