Colo Variation Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative: Yusuke Okamoto) has launched “Kosodate Monster,” a card-based tool that helps users verbalize, organize, and share their values around parenting through dialogue. As dual-income households increase and men’s participation in childcare expands, more families are facing uncertainty and differences in how they think about parenting. The tool was developed to help people clarify their own parenting values and deepen mutual understanding through conversation in today’s parenting environment. In an age overflowing with information, many parents find it difficult to maintain their own guiding principles. Parenting is shifting from something handled by one person to something shared, but exposure to diverse information from social media and experts has also made it harder for many to know which ideas to follow. Because parenting values are strongly shaped by personal experience and upbringing, gaps in perception between partners can also become a source of stress. “Kosodate Monster” is a card game that visualizes and verbalizes values and hopes related to parenting and education by expressing them as “monster” characters. Players answer questions presented in a sugoroku-style board-game format while reflecting on their own experiences and feelings. Based on those answers, other participants present monster cards representing the values they think are closest. In the end, each player selects and shares the “Kosodate Monster” that symbolizes their own inner values. The tool is designed not only for families but also for educational institutions, PTAs, local governments, and corporate training.

It includes a workbook called “Kosomon Note,” designed to connect insights gained through the card game to daily actions. The not
