Free Seminar for Parents: Nurturing Autonomy

In an era increasingly influenced by technology and artificial intelligence, the role of parents becomes crucial in shaping the independence and critical thinking of their children. The Global Learner's Institute (GLI) is hosting a free coaching seminar on September 16, 2026, from 19:30 to 21:00 (JST) via Zoom, aimed specifically at parents who are eager to explore how to foster their children’s autonomy.

The Importance of Autonomy

Today, children are expected not only to acquire knowledge but also to engage in critical thinking, make decisions, and develop a personal identity amidst societal change driven by AI. The ability to formulate questions, make choices, and act independently will be vital for their future. This seminar will address how parents can create environments that stimulate these skills through interactive discussions instead of merely providing answers.

Understanding the Challenge

Many parents express the desire for their children to be independent thinkers. Yet, common parenting instincts often lead to dependency. Statements like:

• - "Let me help you because you seem to struggle,"
• - "I’ll teach you to avoid failure," or
• - "I’ll do it for you since we’re short on time"

are well-intentioned but can undermine a child's opportunity to think and choose for themselves.

This seminar will delve into the reasons why parents find it difficult to step back, even with the best intentions at heart. Participants will explore the gap between understanding and actual practice regarding fostering autonomy in their children, acknowledging that merely knowing what to do does not guarantee success in implementing those strategies.

Rethinking Education in the AI Age

As AI provides instant access to information, the ability to find and process that information becomes more vital than simply knowing the right answers. Children must learn to question what they encounter, select relevant information, and develop their reasoning.
