Ikigai in the Home

Raising kids today is not easy. Screens are everywhere, schedules are overloaded, and the little moments where values used to be passed down often get squeezed out. Around campfires, at dinner tables, in conversations with grandparents — this was where kids used to learn patience, respect, responsibility, and kindness.

At Ikigai Kids, we believe those lessons are too important to be lost. That is why we are creating tools families can use at home to reinforce the 9 Pillars of Ikigai Kids — values and skills that will serve your child for life.

The Benefits of Reinforcing the Pillars at Home

When kids hear these lessons in class or at practice and then see them reinforced at home, the impact is multiplied. Here’s how the Pillars show up in family life:

  • Focus – Kids who can direct their attention are more present during homework, conversations, and even chores.

  • Kindness – Empathy practiced at home builds stronger sibling bonds and deeper friendships.

  • Patience – Learning to wait without frustration helps kids thrive in both family life and school life.

  • Self-Control – Managing impulses reduces conflict at home and increases responsibility.

  • Confidence – Believing in themselves gives kids courage to try new things and recover from setbacks.

  • Respect – Courtesy and gratitude change the tone of the home, strengthening relationships with parents, siblings, and peers.

  • Effort – Consistent hard work shows kids that results come from perseverance, not shortcuts.

  • Responsibility – Taking ownership builds trust, independence, and pride in contribution.

  • Leadership – Serving as an example in the home naturally prepares kids to lead among peers and in the community.

These are not abstract concepts. They’re habits — daily practices that make home life smoother, family bonds stronger, and kids more resilient in the world.
