A mother who sent her three daughters to Harvard speaks for the first time
Children's touching growth process and special know-how!

Stimulate my child's 'life growth plate' that is still open
The Harvard Daughter's Secret to Growing Up in a Flash: Revealed

The three sisters, who neither graduated from a prestigious private high school nor received private education, became a hot topic for confidently overcoming the high threshold of Harvard, a top university where talented people from all over the world gather, through their own abilities.
"This is how I sent my three daughters to Harvard" is based on the touching story of growth of the three sisters Hye-min, Hye-eun, and Hye-seong. It generously contains everything from the special study methods, motivation, and self-management of the three sisters to achieve their goals despite the difficult circumstances.

Just as the author says that discovering hidden seeds in children makes them excited and thrilled, all parents who come across this book will also experience the joy of discovering hidden seeds in their children.
I also have no doubt that by following the solutions in this book one by one, I will soon be able to enjoy the thrill of my child's seed growing and bearing great fruit.

As my second and third children all entered Harvard, everyone I met wanted to know the secret to getting them into Harvard.
“Who did all my daughters resemble to become like that?” My wife and I always gave the same answer.
“It doesn’t resemble us, it’s a mutation.” No one was satisfied with this answer.
Instead of nodding, he asked another question.
“One could be a mutation….
Not all three are mutants, right?
There seems to be some 'Harvard DNA' in it.
“Please tell me.” Hearing this, I started to think, ‘Is there really Harvard DNA in our family?’
I wrote this book to answer that question.
I eventually discovered that our family's upbringing was in our DNA, sending all three of our daughters to Harvard.
I hope that by knowing specifically what that DNA is, I can help all mothers raising children in some way.
I hope this book will be an opportunity for all our precious children to discover and awaken the great giant within themselves.
---p.10 From the Prologue “You sent all three of your daughters to Harvard?”

Parents are the first people to discover their child's talents.
Parents, the first people a child meets after birth, are the ones who spend the most time with the child and share the most physical contact.
Children grow by getting to know each other through countless interactions.
Parents of more than one child will agree that the time it takes to understand your child is much shorter when raising a second or third child than when raising your first.
Having raised three children myself, I've developed my own way of getting to know them.
To get to know the child, we gave them various stimuli and understood the child through their responses.
While I was with my child, I tried not to take my eyes off him for even a moment and constantly thought of ways to stimulate his five senses.
Although these efforts made parenting difficult, I think they were much more positive in terms of the child's development.
This is because the child's range of experiences expands due to the stimulation provided by parents.
If we were to use a computer analogy, we could say that this is 'increasing storage capacity'.
Computers with small storage capacity will eventually become unable to store any more files.
Since a child's capacity is small, teaching them this and that hastily can have the opposite effect.
When you're young, you should focus on building up your capacity.
To achieve this, we must create experiences through continuous interaction using the five senses in various ways.
The more diverse your child's stimuli are, the easier it will be to discover their potential and creativity.
During this process, parents should carefully observe their child's interests and concerns.

I thought that pre-learning only dampened a child's curiosity and motivation to study.
Rather than taking private tutoring to prepare for difficult studies in advance, I focused on attending school classes.
By seeing friends who are better than me, I felt my own shortcomings and wanted to improve further.
It is important to encourage students to take an active approach to their studies rather than passively learning, and to let them tell you for themselves what they want to know more about.
Rather than just sending your child to an academy, if your child develops a thirst for learning, studying will come naturally.
(…)
Motivation comes from lack, and motivation becomes the driving force that gives you the will and the desire to try and do anything on your own.
In this process, you can also feel the joy of accomplishment.
Therefore, a certain degree of deprivation is essential in parenting.
Rather than worrying about what to do for your child, it is wiser to worry about what not to do.
I put this into practice.
They were parents who thought hard about how they could avoid doing it and how they could prevent their children from feeling uncomfortable.

To prepare for the SAT, many students attend cram schools, take private tutoring, and invest most of their time in studying during high school.
I've even seen cases where children are sent to private academies starting in middle school.
What we need to keep in mind is that high school is a time to develop and further develop the talents discovered in elementary and middle school, and to produce results accordingly, as part of the process of becoming a giant.
How inefficient it is to waste time preparing for college entrance exams at such a time and expend energy that could be used for other things.
Aren't elementary school years the time for studying overflowing? But how can we get elementary school students to sit still and study? Is this even possible? Is it okay to just sit and study during this active and creative period? Many questions arise.
But to get to the point, it is possible.
However, a change in parents' thinking is necessary.
It is right that elementary school children should play.
You should feel happy by doing fun things.
The funny thing is, you can do it for a long time, you can do it even when people tell you not to, and you can even do it secretly.
Here is the answer.
All you have to do is make the object that your child finds fun into something to study.
I didn't even know it was studying, but I did it because it was fun, but when I found out, I was creating a situation where it was studying.
It's great for children to have fun doing things they enjoy, and it's great for parents to be able to study without stressing their children out.

One piece of advice I would give is that parents should not go to bed before their children do.
Staying up with your children until they finish studying or homework and go to bed gives them a sense of security and no room to think about other things.
This is also something that requires the devotion of parents.
If these things become a daily habit, children can grow up to be self-disciplined.
Even if parents put in a lot of effort to help their children develop a certain level of self-control, they cannot live without their smartphones unless they make the decision themselves.
There are clearly limits to what parents can force and physically prevent.
I think that the time when a child can make decisions on his or her own is until middle school.
If your child shows an unwillingness to compromise with you about a smartphone even after entering high school, it's better to just buy one.
Forcing a grown child to stop something without their own decision will only worsen the relationship between the parents.
Coercive control has more to lose than to gain.
It is important for parents to guide their children to form a philosophy and values ​​that they can choose for themselves while attending elementary and middle school.

Hyemin said that she was shocked by the reality of how difficult it is to get into college, as she researched her desired major early on in middle school and also looked into target universities, but the acceptance rate for those schools was less than 10%.
I was surprised by the lower-than-expected pass rate.
Instead, thanks to that, I was able to quickly make a realistic decision about going to college.
The sooner a child can recognize reality on their own, the more concretely they can plan and strategize for college admission in advance.
(…)
As Hyemin got older, she worked harder to find areas where she needed help, and she accomplished everything she could, both inside and outside of school.
Ultimately, Hye-min's thorough time management, self-management, quick awareness of the reality of college admission, and planning and implementing activities that could be done both inside and outside of school were the secrets to achieving her goals.

When a child goes far away to college, it means independence from their parents.
It's not that my children leave me, it's that I become independent from them.
When a child is born, the role of parents in that child's life is great.
As children grow up, the role of parents should gradually diminish.
Then, when the time comes for my child to go to college, I have to prepare to leave my child's life.
College is a time in a child's life when they leave and become independent.
First, the parents must leave their children, so that the children can leave without worrying about their parents.
If parents are unable to leave and hold their children back, they will not be able to fully express their own will.
