Revamped 'President Family' Magazine Launches with Special Focus on Brain Development for Kids

A New Era for 'President Family'

On March 5, 2026, the much-anticipated revamped edition of 'President Family' will hit the shelves. This long-standing family education magazine, published by President Inc. in Chiyoda, Tokyo, aims to provide parents with invaluable insights and strategies for nurturing intelligent and capable children.

The first issue under its new format, titled "The Encyclopedia of Brain Development for Smart Kids," will feature contributions from seven renowned neuroscientists, offering practical advice for parents looking to enrich their children's learning experiences.

Since its inception in July 2006, 'President Family' has positioned itself as a vital resource for parents navigating the complexities of education and child-rearing. From enhancing problem-solving skills to encouraging independent thinking, the magazine believes that fostering a capable and resilient mindset is critical for future success. The magazine has consistently sought to answer the pressing question: What can parents do to raise children who thrive in society?

Emphasis on Holistic Education

While 'President Family' is often associated with providing insights on entrance exams and academic performance, it transcends those topics by advocating for a more holistic approach to education. It understands that raising a successful child isn't merely about achieving high grades; rather, it involves equipping them with the ability to navigate life’s challenges, express themselves, and adhere to societal norms.

This holistic approach incorporates perspectives from various fields: academic theories, scientific research, and lessons learned from past generations. It emphasizes the importance of long-term growth over short-term achievements—a key departure from traditional educational narratives.

New Focus for Modern Parents

In the wake of changing societal norms and the diversifying needs of parenting today, the editorial team has taken a bold step in redesigning the magazine. As part of its commitment to addressing the evolving landscape of child-rearing, the first issue of the revamped magazine focuses on the theme of brain development in children.

By collaborating with expert neuroscientists, 'President Family' intends to provide parenting strategies that are not only evidence-based but also easy for families to incorporate into their daily routines. The magazine will aim to illuminate the often-overlooked elements of cognitive and emotional growth in children and guide parents on how to foster these essential skills at home.

Editor’s Message

In the inaugural message, editor-in-chief Shinya Hamamura expressed enthusiasm for the transformation that 'President Family' has undergone. He emphasized that for over 20 years, the magazine has sought to accompany parents in focusing on their children’s future. With the updated format, they hope to resonate more with the challenges faced by contemporary parents.

Final Thoughts

The modern world presents unique challenges and opportunities for families, and 'President Family' stands as a beacon of support for parents seeking effective ways to prepare their children for an ever-changing society. Whether for seasoned parents or those new to the journey, the insights and advice provided in this new issue promise to be valuable resources for all.
