A well-known children’s book author in Japan has opened up about her experience with her three children, who have been facing challenges with attending school. This situation, often referred to as ‘school refusal’ (or ‘futoko’ in Japanese), is a growing concern in Japan, where societal pressures can make it difficult for children to cope with the demands of the education system.
The author reflects on the impact of this issue not only on her family but also on the broader implications for children struggling with similar challenges. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and support from parents and educators in addressing the emotional and psychological needs of these children.
In Japan, school refusal can stem from various factors, including anxiety, bullying, or academic pressure. The author hopes to raise awareness about this issue through her work and encourage open discussions about mental health and well-being among children.
