Into the book
"I remember what a child who, during a turbulent time, received consistent counseling, pulled himself together, and a few years later entered KAIST said to me: "Meeting you was the best luck of my life."
---From "Entering, Youngjae also deserves happiness"
“What I have noticed from working with children for a long time is that children who ask a lot of questions also have a wide range of growth.
Other children cannot keep up with his desire to delve into things he is curious about and his passion to study tirelessly.
When I counsel these children, I find that they have something in common.
“It means growing up in an atmosphere where even the most trivial questions are welcomed.”
---From "01 A Child Who Asks Many Questions is Happy"
“Active parents, obedient children.
This is often the result when active parents who like to make decisions for their children meet obedient children who hate being scolded.
The children suddenly realize.
The fact that I have never lived the life I wanted.
I achieved my parents' goals, but my heart became empty.
No parent can live their child's life for them.
No matter what the outcome, you will have no regrets if you make your own choices.
“Only then can we learn, grow, and become great.”
---From "03 You won't regret it if you choose for yourself"
Children's dreams are influenced by their environment.
Everything we hear, see, and experience becomes material for dreaming of the future.
If we want to help children develop their own dreams, we must value even the smallest dreams.
As your thoughts grow and your experiences increase, your vague dreams will become clearer.
And then dreams change.
It is a very natural phenomenon.
Parents are the greatest world a child experiences.
What parents consider important, children consider important.
Let's open our hearts and listen to whatever dreams our children tell us.
That's the secret to raising a child to be a great person.
---From "04 Every Dream is Precious"
“I think I haven’t been able to acknowledge that my child and I are different people.
I'm glad I found out now.
“Thank you so much.” Parents and children are different beings.
When you realize that fact, your family will be harmonious.
Conversations with children also increase.
Because we treat each other as human beings.
---From “13 Children and Parents Are Different Beings”
“Everyone experiences difficulties, big or small, in life.
To overcome trials and move forward, you need to have a healthy mind.
You can develop a healthy mind when you can focus on what you want with a relaxed mind.
“The secret to raising your child to be a happy and gifted child is to listen to what he or she has to say and support what he or she likes.”
---From "06 Sometimes a hobby is the answer"
“The truth is always simple.
Just remember one thing.
If parents protect, children will follow.
“It’s a short but important principle.”
--- p.98
“If you want your child to imagine their future in a positive light, you need to focus on what they are good at rather than what they are lacking.
Only then can we dream of a happy future.
Children remember their parents' words longer than you think.
Whatever the story is.
So, while we're at it, let's offer some words of encouragement.
A single positive word from a parent can brighten a child's life.
"
---From “17 Positive Words That Change Your Life”
“When we raise children, we want to give them a smooth life without failure.
And in doing so, we try to reduce trial and error in some way.
But only after repeated failures does happy success come.
“Because failure is the gift that gives meaning to life.”

Publisher's Review
"Can you live a successful life just by getting good grades?"
"If my child becomes gifted, will he or she be able to live a happy life?"
"Other children are good at many things and have already decided on their career paths, but my child doesn't show any special talents.
Am I raising it well?
"My child has no natural talent, so he is far from being a gifted child."
Raising a child successfully without any parenting experience is a first-time experience, so it must be challenging and overwhelming. These are common concerns that any parent in Korea will have pondered at least once.
Besides, I quickly become impatient when I don't see my child's talent.
The desire to create a good environment for their children as soon as possible is a concern that all parents have.
But while the words “good environment” bring to mind high-quality educational facilities, great teachers, and good friends, these things actually come second.
The first step in discovering a child's hidden genius is for parents to listen to their child.
The presence of parents who are willing to listen to even the smallest words.
This is the first secret to raising happy geniuses.
It doesn't take a lot of money or time for a child to grow up and reach their full potential.
Just knowing the qualifications parents need can help you raise happy, healthy, and gifted children without wasting time or money.
Every parent wants their child to be happy.
So, I try not to neglect either material abundance or emotional stability.
But there is another, easier way to raise a happy child.
This book contains 20 educational laws developed by Professor Kim Seong-chun, who has educated 10,000 gifted students and provided in-depth counseling to over 1,000 gifted students at national university gifted education centers and specialized educational institutions affiliated with the Korean government, based on actual cases.
“The goal of education is the happiness of children.
“All education should be at the child’s own pace.”
“A healthy body and a warm heart are the foundation of proper education.”
“The true role of educators is to nurture gifted individuals who will contribute to society.
"What Makes a Gifted Child Happy" is based on Carl Witte's educational philosophy and contains the miraculous changes that have occurred over 30 years in gifted education, awakening the hidden talents of all children.
Karl Witte (1748-1831) was a German educator who raised his son, who was born prematurely, into a genius who spoke six languages.
His son, Carl Witte Jr., earned his doctorate at the age of 13 and became a professor of law at 16.
The reason why Karl Witte is receiving so much attention today is because he achieved perfect holistic education over 200 years ago.
His son grew up to be a happy and warm-hearted genius who contributed to society and humanity throughout his life.
Gifted education in 21st-century Korea should aim to foster students' personal growth and develop them into responsible citizens.
To achieve this, we must approach the issue of individual self-realization, social values and ethics, healthy physical activity, and emotional development in an integrated manner, in addition to academic knowledge education.
This book, which transcends the prejudices of existing gifted education, introduces the integrated educational approach at the core of Carl Witte's education through various counseling cases from 30 years.
Discover the author's warm philosophy, which helps parents wisely navigate each critical juncture of raising gifted children and grow together.
It contains a message I want to convey to the countless parents in this country who are losing sleep over their children's worries.
“This is how happy and warm-hearted geniuses grow.
And the moment you open this book, your child can also be reborn as a happy genius.”
