Into the book
It's difficult to measure the meaning behind a gift by its price.
The letters exchanged between Mom and Dad on the day they first met
A photo taken together given to me by an ex-friend to remind me not to forget him.
A scarf that my late grandmother gave me.
A gift like this is priceless.
Because the meaning behind that gift is unique in this world.
---From "Gifticon"
If you spend without any standards and only rely on other people's judgment,
I also buy things I don't need.
I know best what I need.
No one else can make decisions for you.
To be a smart consumer, you need to know yourself.
To keep my center and not be shaken by anyone
It's protecting me.
---From "My Money, My Country"
What matters is a friend's generosity and character.
Just because you live in a small house doesn't mean your heart is small.
Living in a big house doesn't mean you have a big heart.
As you live, the size of your home can change at any time.
But a good friend's heart never changes.
There is absolutely no need to view the world through the size of your apartment.
---From "Apartment Size"
French author Victor Hugo published a book
I was really curious about the readers' reactions.
So, in the letter I sent to the publisher, I wrote this:
“?”
Then the publisher also sent the shortest letter in the world.
“!”
When Victor Hugo asked what the readers' reaction was like,
I sent it with the intention that it was so good that I was amazed(!).
What books did Victor Hugo write?
---Among the "emoticons"
A popular child has many friends around him.
Children who don't do this may feel lonely.
But I can't say which one is good or bad.
Because they are all precious people who are needed in this world.
---From "Inssa Assa"
Self-esteem is the wall that protects you.
Protect yourself from a lot of stress and hurt.
The higher your self-esteem, the more courage you can have to try anything.
Self-esteem doesn't just build up.
Respect me normally, even when things are difficult
I need to train myself to protect myself.
Start by setting small goals and achieving them.

Publisher's Review
“Annual salary, apartment size, luxury goods, plastic surgery…
“How should I tell my child?”
Bestseller 『Kind Words, Strong Words』 by Go Jeong-wook
A children's humanities book with a new perspective!
“Teacher, how much is your annual salary?”, “How big is your apartment?”, “What kind of car do you drive?”
Author Goh Jeong-wook, who meets with children all over the country every year through his cheerful and resonant lectures, often gets asked this question by children.
Our children are very interested in the world and the affairs of adults.
Adults can ask questions without hesitation that they hesitate or find difficult to ask.
How do adults react to these children's absurd and impulsive questions? Rather than accepting their concerns and engaging in conversation, they tell them that such questions aren't appropriate and that they don't need to know right now.
The author always smiles and honestly answers children's questions, even when they might be considered rude by adults.
This is because I believe that paying close attention to children's curiosity and interests is the beginning of communication.
If we cannot avoid children's current interests, we must listen to them a little more, inform them wisely, and guide them in a better direction.
The "Elementary Interest Dictionary" began with the curiosity and interest of these children.
“Curiosity and interest in the world
“It is the greatest force that helps a child grow!”
Establishing the right values for our children
The power of humanities insight to awaken infinite potential
『Elementary Interest Dictionary』 is a children's humanities book with a new perspective presented by the best-selling author of 『Kind Words, Strong Words』, beloved by many parents and children.
The author gave lectures over 300 times a year, meeting elementary school students, teenagers, and parents. After that, he decided to write a children's education book that was "practically helpful and useful." He also conducted a survey of about 200 elementary school students to write the book.
Among the wide variety of interests of children today, including games, goods, smartphones, apartment sizes, popular and outcasts, YouTube, and MBTI, the author has carefully selected 34 topics and developed rich stories with his unique insight to help children expand their interests and thoughts about the world.
The humanities play a major role in helping children learn the essentials for life and establish a sense of purpose in life.
The ability to understand and empathize with others, as well as oneself, can also be learned through the humanities.
The author has created a story about various subjects and characters, including literature, history, and philosophy, tailored to children's level, so that children can enjoy reading and understand themselves and others, increase their self-esteem and empathy, and establish the right direction for their thoughts.
“What matters is the size of your heart!”
“I am a unique and wonderful being in the universe.”
“I don’t need to fit into other people’s standards.”
The more you read, the more your thoughts grow. A humanities book by Goh Jeong-wook that will help you grow your mind.
The 『Elementary Interest Dictionary』 consists of a total of 4 pages for each interest keyword.
Although it is arranged in alphabetical order, let's read the words that we are most curious about from the table of contents together with our children.
By looking at one picture each day, you can imagine what it might contain, examine the meaning of the keywords organized by the artist, and learn how to understand and use them correctly.
For example, through 'luxury goods', it tells a story about 'my own value', through 'idols', it tells a story about the constant 'effort' to achieve dreams, and through 'challenges', it tells a story about 'creativity'.
The author, who taught many children beautiful and kind words through the best-selling book “Kind Words, Strong Words,” has also filled this book with many words of kind encouragement and courage for children, such as “What matters is the size of your heart!”, “I am a unique and wonderful being in the universe”, “I don’t need to fit into other people’s standards”, and “Our lives are full of noble things”, so that children can grow up healthy in body and mind.
In the final 'Thinking' section, we included two to three humanities questions to encourage deeper thinking.
'What is the most important thing when making friends?', 'Is the price of a gift certificate the size of the person giving it?', 'What would happen if robots had minds like in the movies?', 'How helpful would information obtained quickly be to us?', 'What can't be bought with money?', etc., so that children can think for themselves from various perspectives (let's use the thinking-provoking questions in our reading notes).
If you're looking for something to talk about with your child, if you want your child to develop sound values and grow into a self-directed thinker, I recommend opening up "Elementary Interest Dictionary" with your child every day.
