Attending a parenting group "Chatty+"

(FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Chatty+ is a group/community in Tokyo, Japan. 2

Japanese women founded the group in 2018, both of them are

professional coaches and mothers. The vision is that mothers are

connected with the other mothers, and each mothers can find their own

way how to raise their children, how to work and how to live through

having chat or coaching approach. Their meetings help each members'

parenting mind built, thinking or talking a theme. Establishing

mothers' own parenting gives their confidence, and the mother's smile

makes children's smile. Also, such meeting activities dedicate for

families to avoid being isolated.)

I attended the group meeting on 28th October, 2018. The theme we

chatted about was "what's annoying in discipline". 2 founders

facilitated it and gave us feedback with a coaching approach.

Participants talked about recent troubles with their children and

gradually found out why they were having these problems. Through

learning, they also came up with solutions and tips in themselves in

the 2 hours.

I learned that parents may need someone to listen to their thoughts on

parenting steps. As a postpartum doula, I will accept enough dialogue

with my clients and encourage them in having some persons/communities

to talk about parenting so that they can find their own parenting way

much more smoothly and fun.
