Free online seminar [SOZOW Forum] on “Children’s potential and family relationships based on lessons” will be held on February 14th (Wednesday)
* An educational consultant who has worked with over 2,000 families and an academic fellow from Tokyo Gakugei University Children’s Future Research Institute will be on stage*
Based on the concept of “Learning that begins with curiosity,” SOZOW Co., Ltd. (Location: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kosukegawa
(Sho) will be holding a free online seminar “SOZOW Forum – Let’s talk about it as a family – Lessons from our family” on February 14th (Wednesday).
Two out of three people start taking lessons at an early age, but there are not many opportunities to learn from experts about “key points when choosing lessons.”
This time, we would like to introduce a child-rearing consultant who has supported more than 2,000 families and the Tokyo Gakugei University Children’s Future Research Institute.
We have decided to hold an interactive session with a speaker who has served as an academic fellow and has interacted with over 3,000 children and parents in educational settings.
At this time of year, when many families are starting to think about new lessons for the new school year, we would like to give you some tips to expand your child’s potential and reconsider how your family interacts.

* “Choosing lessons for children” is a source of concern for parents * According to the “Survey on Learning and Lessons” (*1) of 600 parents of children aged 0 to 8, 30% of children aged 0 to 2 had experience in learning and lessons, and *
It has been found that around 2 out of 3 children begin some form of learning* between the ages of 3 and 5.
Parents also place importance on factors other than academic ability, and choose learning and lessons based on their child, rather than what they want their child to do.*
It is clear from the survey results that they are aware of this.
From this, it can be said that the need for lessons in society is increasing, and at the same time, the process of choosing lessons that are suitable for your child from a wide variety of options is also increasing. Sho.
However, while the worries faced by parents are significant, * Currently, there are very few opportunities and places where children can specifically learn about the important concepts when choosing lessons and how to promote communication among family members.
In the first place, there is no fixed answer to choosing lessons. Therefore, SOZOW does not tell you how to choose the right lessons for children who have no answer for choosing lessons,*
We decided to hold a discussion-style session focusing on [how to choose lessons that are better for each child and their parents]*.
SOZOW is an edutainment* company that has developed “learning” that goes beyond the framework of the five subjects in a multifaceted manner through lessons and free school operations.
*Edutainment is a coined word that combines “learning” and
“entertainment,” and is currently attracting attention in the education industry.
In order to respond to the concerns and questions that many parents have as we approach April, on the day of the event, we will introduce the “Children’s Possibilities” program, including examples of families that SOZOW has come into contact with over the course of its history. We will provide time for learning about “choosing lessons that expand sexuality and family relationships”.

Lessons you want to think about for the new year and your new life. I want my child to do something he is interested in, but is it suitable for my child? Will it continue? How does it balance with other lessons? There are no such worries.
I would like to look for things that might give you hints on how to choose such lessons.

“Diverse options for raising children.”
The SOZOW Forum provides an opportunity for adults to come into contact with their concerns and ways of thinking about child-rearing and think through dialogue in an era where values are diversifying and there are no correct answers. We hold sessions online about once a month on various themes. Participants can write comments and questions in the chat while listening to the speakers, creating two-way communication, allowing them to share their thoughts and gain new insights and hints. Let’s free ourselves from the “obvious” and face “questions with no correct answers” together.
