Child Research Net

Notice
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support toward the activities of Child Research Net(CRN).
Since its establishment in 1996, CRN has engaged in discussions, research, collecting information, and dissemination activities on children's issues with researchers from Asia and around the world. However, as of Sept. 30, 2025, all CRN activities will be discontinued, and our websites will be closed.
The websites will no longer be accessible after Oct.1, 2025. Before the closure, we kindly ask you to check any articles or reports you need.
The philosophies of "Children are our future" and "Child Science," cherished by CRN, will be carried on by the Benesse Educational Research and Development Institute (BERD/the research division of Benesse Corporation), which will continue to address issues affecting children. We are truly grateful for your longstanding support and contributions to the development of CRN.

We selected essential topics for considering qualities and skills needed for children’s well-being, and the environment where they are nurtured.
