Throughout Tomohiro Morita's growth, his mother gave him many opportunities to explore, such as allowing him to try feeding insects. If he showed an interest in insects, she would buy him various related books. It was also his mother who introduced him to KUMON when he was in kindergarten, and he continued learning with KUMON, eventually surpassing the academic level of his grade. He never felt bored or uninterested, nor did he ever think of stopping his KUMON studies.

As we look to the future, how can parents and teachers accompany the next generation in confidently growing through learning?
