Into the book
Having a mature conversation means being able to connect with your feelings and needs.
For example, you may feel irritable, tired, and uncomfortable when you are with children.
When that happens, parents who are unaware of their children's desires look for reasons outside themselves and say, "Every time they do that, I get old, I get old!"
But a parent who is good at reflecting on their child's needs might say, "I'm feeling particularly irritable and tired today.
You can connect your needs with your words by saying, “I want to have some time for myself.”

--- p.99

If you only choose to eat foods that are too good, you will end up avoiding foods that don't suit your taste.
Children who were only the main characters become frustrated in a world that does not revolve around them.
Children who have easily obtained what they want may not know the true value of patience and perseverance.
If parents focus all their attention on raising their children's moods and self-esteem while neglecting their own feelings and needs, the children will accept this as their 'natural duty'.
When the parents' emotions, which they have been holding back, enduring, and suppressing for so long, finally explode at the breaking point, the children are left bewildered and at a loss.
--- p.166

No matter how much parents explain the standards, tell the child only one thing without saying much, and suggest alternatives, there are many times when the child does not accept it.
If this happens repeatedly, parents become irritated and easily become angry just by encountering such a situation.
At times like these, it's important to let your children know that you are currently experiencing anger.

--- p.191

Children are sensitive to their mother's emotions.
I wonder and worry if my mom is angry because of me and if she hates me because of me.
In that case, please make it clear who the feeling is.
Explain to her in a way that suits the situation, such as saying things like, "I'm tired and want to rest," "I want to do well but I'm upset because I can't," or "I want to help you but I don't know how and I'm worried."
“It’s not because of you.
“It’s because Mom wants to rest.” “It’s not your fault.
“My dad is so sensitive because he’s worried about other things.”
--- p.217

Recognizing and accepting a child's emotions is difficult for parents as well.
It's a job that takes a lot of emotional and physical energy.
If you can't seem to get better no matter what you do, it's best to first admit, "I'm just so tired."
Accept that caring for a child can be challenging at times, and take care of yourself as you would do for your child.
If possible, ask people around you for help often.
Don't try to do it alone, and don't try to do it perfectly.
--- p.247

Publisher's Review
“What should be different about what parents say?”
Beyond words of anxiety and worry, how to speak like a mature adult!


Adults who are good at talking are not necessarily good parents.
Even if you're polite and kind outside of the home, why do you often find yourself unknowingly speaking emotionally in front of your precious children? Why do you read countless communication books, only to find yourself repeating unpleasant words in front of your children?

Words are greatly influenced by the mind.
The anxieties, worries, and desires hidden deep within our hearts ultimately influence our words, and these words, burdened with emotions, are bound to be poured out most often on the children who are closest and most comfortable with us.
This will eventually create an emotional situation and lead back to guilt.
What should we keep in mind to break this painful cycle?

What's important is to know that it's not the words that come out of your mouth, but the heart that creates those words.
Let's say there are parents here who can't stand their child's tantrums.
At this time, the core of the problem is not the parent's sharp tone of voice, but rather 'Why do I feel so bad when my child gets upset?'
If you look into the history of your own speech, such as why you can't stand this situation in particular, or who taught you this phrase you use so often, you can control your mind, and the ultimate change in your speech will come after that.


Between parents and children,
Three Rules of Speech to Avoid Hurt


This book is divided into four parts.
Parts 1 and 2 contain time to look into one's inner self.
This course explores whether you have speech habits influenced by your family of origin, what they are, and what attitudes toward life they have led to.
It also includes exercises to help you become aware of the stimuli that you find particularly uncomfortable and the various phenomena that occur when you encounter such stimuli.


Also, in Part 3, which can be considered the core of this book, new words that mothers need are introduced when space is finally created in the language bowl.
The book outlines three principles of speech that parents should follow, including words that welcome and support the child's existence, such as "You are precious just the way you are," and "You must have wanted to do well too," words that discipline and change behavior, such as "Remember this one thing," and "You are learning now," and words that maintain a healthy distance, such as "How did that make you feel?" and "It's not because of you," and the book continues with a process of figuring out how to speak differently in the future.


The final chapter covers how to keep your mother's speech healthy.
This is because, rather than making fleeting changes, it takes small, consistent efforts to cultivate the mind in order to consistently use the language of a mature adult.


“A mother’s words are powerful!”
The one book to keep your mother's words that will give you strength for life.


Everyone has their own speaking bowl.
How much more comforting would it be if you filled it with words that would comfort and protect you on difficult days in life?
Parents have the ability to put such powerful words into their children's mouths.
A single word from a parent can truly change a child's world.

Let's remember how precious and beautiful we are by recalling one word our parents have said to us, and let's take good care of our mother's heart, filled with words, so that we can love ourselves again tomorrow. Let's give our children the words they need, the words that are appropriate for the situation.
It is time to practice the strong and warm words that come from a calm mind again with this book.
