    We will email the Zoom ID for the event to registered participants by the day before the event.

    [Content]

    Once children turn one, their activity levels increase, leading to more opportunities for them to interact with society beyond just family time. For this reason, this is also said to be a time when parents may experience new concerns and worries regarding their child’s growth and development.

    This session will focus on “potty training.”

    In both Japan and the United States, parents are often advised to have their children out of diapers during the day by the time they are 2 to 3 years old, before starting preschool. The key points to observe differ slightly between daytime and nighttime potty training. It’s also a topic that can easily lead to tension in your relationship with your child. Precisely because it’s such a sensitive topic, why not discuss it online? ？

    While the session is intended for parents of children ages 1–5, expectant mothers, parents of infants ・, and parents of elementary school students are also welcome to participate. We also warmly invite those involved in parenting support to join us.

    Once children turn one, their activity levels increase, leading to more opportunities for social interaction beyond time spent solely with family. Consequently, this is often said to be a time when parents experience new concerns and worries regarding their child’s growth and development.

    This session will focus on “potty training.”

    In both Japan and the U.S., parents are often advised to have their children potty-trained during the day—by ages 2 to 3—before they start preschool. The key points to keep in mind differ slightly between daytime and nighttime potty training. This is a topic that can easily lead to tension in your relationship with your child. Precisely because it’s such a sensitive subject, why not discuss it online?

    While this session is intended for parents of children ages 1–5, expectant mothers and parents of infants and elementary school students are also welcome to participate. We also encourage those involved in parenting support to join us.

    ・ What tax procedures are required upon returning to Japan—such as the 183-day rule, double taxation, and Form W-8BEN?
    ・ How can you leverage your overseas work experience in your career after returning to Japan?

    While these are common concerns for expatriates—particularly those on fixed-term assignments—who are considering a return to Japan in the future, it is also true that finding the “correct answer” on your own can be quite difficult.
