Event Report: Enhancing Child Development Through Exercise and Technology
On September 13, 2025, PAPAMO Co., Ltd. held an event titled "Developing Foundations for Growth: Parent-Child Exercise Activities" at Higashitamagawa Elementary School in Setagaya Ward. This initiative aims to address the lack of accessible platforms for discussing children's developmental and learning challenges, while also fostering connections among parents.
The event welcomed participation from nine families, totaling 25 individuals with 12 parents and 13 children. Participants engaged in practical exercise activities that parents can replicate at home, thereby creating an environment of shared learning and mutual support in parenting.
Background of the Event and Highlights
With the increasing challenges of finding venues for parents to casually discuss their children's developmental concerns, the PTA and community education classes have become crucial spaces for learning and connection. PAPAMO, through its "Heyasupo Assist" program, provided expert insights and led enjoyable parent-child exercise activities at the school's gymnasium.
Using common household items like towels, balloons, and tissue papers, the activities focused on movements that enhance body awareness and posture, ensuring that families can easily continue these exercises at home.
After the exercises, parents shared various concerns about their children's development and learning, such as difficulties with outdoor play, tying shoelaces, and maintaining posture during meals. The coaches provided professional advice on how these exercise activities can address these everyday challenges and contribute to a child’s growth.
Qualified coaches, skilled in physical and occupational therapy, explained how the "Developmental Pyramid," emphasized in the "Heyasupo Assist" program, supports the child's physical skills, sensory processing, and coordination, ultimately alleviating developmental hurdles.
Parental Feedback
Participants expressed their appreciation for the event, highlighting how valuable the insights gained were for everyday practices at home. One parent remarked, “I was feeling concerned about lack of outdoor play in summer, but learning about these at-home exercises made me feel hopeful about engaging my child more.” Another parent said, “I was struggling with my child’s inconsistent grip while writing, and it was enlightening to learn the essential movements that can help.”
The event not only deepened parent-child relationships but also served as a starting point for sharing common challenges among parents. Moreover, holding the event in a familiar school setting helped lend credibility to the specialized knowledge and support provided.
Future Prospects
Moving forward, PAPAMO aims to continue collaborating with schools and local organizations to offer similar initiatives. Interested schools and organizations are encouraged to reach out for potential partnership opportunities.
