70% of mothers raising children "lack confidence in child rearing.

In recent years, the environment for raising children in Japan has undergone major changes. With the shift to the nuclear family and the weakening of community ties, an increasing number of parents are feeling isolated in their childrearing.

In addition, child-rearing methods that ignore children's natural developmental rhythms, such as early exposure to digital media and an overemphasis on early education, are spreading.

According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, approximately 70% of mothers raising children say they lack confidence in child rearing, and approximately 40% say they feel a strong sense of stress in child rearing.

On the children's side, various problems have also been identified, such as low self-esteem, lack of imagination and creativity, and difficulty in controlling emotions.

Underlying these issues is the fact that the values of modern society, which emphasize "efficiency" and "achievement," have extended to children in their infancy.

The situation is one in which visible "results" and "skills" are increasingly prioritized over the internal growth and developmental processes of young children.

[By treating children as children, childcare begins to flow more smoothly.

Sachiko Akagawa, our president and preschool director, is pleased to announce the publication of "Steiner Style Child Rearing, where 'Individuality' and 'Talent' Grows.

Steiner education emphasizes "age-appropriate education" that matches the developmental stage of children, and especially in early childhood, children acquire the ability to think and act for themselves and develop their "individuality" and "talents" through experiences and free play using their senses. We believe it is important to treat children as children and to treat them in a healthy way.

The author, Sachiko Akagawa, has been involved in Steiner early childhood education for over 20 years and has devoted herself to promoting Steiner education in Japan. In this book, she draws on her wealth of experience and knowledge while offering concrete advice that even today's busy parents can put into practice.

Simple practices you can do at home.

This book offers the wisdom of over 100 years of Steiner (Waldorf) early childhood education in a form that can be simply put into practice in the modern Japanese home.

Based on this philosophy of Steiner education, this book provides concrete explanations of the following topics:

The importance of Steiner education

Treat the child as a child

Use "language" that the child understands

The importance of Steiner education

The four senses that should be nurtured in the early years of a child's life

What you can do at home to develop your child's individuality and bring out his or her abilities

What you can do at home to nurture your child's individuality and bring out his or her abilities

Parenting is a journey full of confusion. However, by understanding the true nature of children and being attentive to their development, both parents and children can spend joyful time together," says the author, Akagawa.

We hope that this book will serve as a guide for many parents who are troubled and anxious about raising their children, and help them realize the rich potential that children inherently possess.
