Moving from 'Must Raise Properly' to 'Trust and Watch': 'Kosodate Summit 2026' to be Held Online on July 12

Tamon Co., Ltd. (Location: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Takeshi Shimamura) will host a free online event for parents titled 'Kosodate Summit 2026' via Zoom on July 12, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Background With the proliferation of the internet, social media, and AI, parenting information has become readily accessible. However, many parents find themselves lost, unsure of what is 'correct.' Many parents, out of concern for their child's future, end up exhausting themselves through constant nagging about homework or by comparing their children to others. In the AI era, it is increasingly important for parents to let go of control and shift to a 'trust and watch' approach.
