Parent training for parents concerned about their child’s development / Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture
*For the healthy development of children and for alleviating concerns of parents and others regarding child-rearing*
*
In Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture, we have been implementing “Parent Training” since last year as a support for parents who are worried about raising children due to children’s developmental
characteristics, but in 2020, we expanded the target age group and implemented it. I will. *
In Kawanishi City, parents and caregivers understand children’s behavior based on behavioral theory in order to resolve the concerns of parents who are concerned about their children’s development and problems in their daily lives, and to support their children’s growth. Since last year, we have been conducting “parent training” where children learn specific parenting skills such as how to praise and give instructions.
As the content was well received and there were also requests to expand the target age group, we expanded the program in 2026, not only for parents of preschool children, but this year for children up to third grade of elementary school. We will also have a course for parents.
On July 26th, we held a “Pre-Parent Training” course to help you understand what parent training is.
Parents of children under high school age gathered at Kisera Kawanishi Plaza (2 Hiuchi, Kawanishi City).
*This event is being streamed on the city’s official YouTube channel.

This initiative has been shown to be useful as support for parents and caregivers who are worried about raising children due to their children’s developmental characteristics.
This program is aimed at parents who are raising children who have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having, a developmental disability and who are concerned about raising children. We will try to resolve the issue.
