So how can we cultivate the three magic keys to balanced emotional and cognitive development? The author shares vivid examples drawn from her 30-plus years as a mother of two and 20 years of experience healing heartbroken children. She also shares 75 diverse practical techniques, including play, reading, and study methods, she's learned along the way.

Into the book
The study skills I emphasize do not just refer to study skills.
True study skills refer to a positive study mindset that makes you enjoy studying and learning, a self-esteem that you can do well in your studies, a mature study attitude that allows you to persevere through difficult times, and the power to study that encompasses both cognitive and non-cognitive abilities.
When it comes to developing a child's academic ability, 'there is no period more important than the ages of 4 to 7'.
Between the ages of 4 and 7, there is a language explosion due to the development of the temporal lobe, which is responsible for language, and the frontal lobe, which is responsible for comprehensive thinking functions, personality, and morality, is intensively developed.
In other words, it is a crucial period to foster emotional and cognitive development that will lead to a child's lifelong learning ability.
---From "Prologue - If I could only go back to when my child was between the ages of 4 and 7"
Learning begins in earnest around the age of 4, based on stable emotions.
As I explore the world, my desire to learn becomes stronger, and I feel a sense of satisfaction every time I learn something new.
Therefore, it is appropriate and desirable for parents to teach their children Korean and math during this period and to help them develop the ability to speak English naturally, even if it is just a few sentences.
However, there is an important prerequisite.
It should be a way to build not only emotional self-esteem but also academic self-esteem.
You need to develop good character and social skills as well as study skills while having fun.
---From "Part 1 - The biggest concern for parents of children aged 4 to 7 - Parents are still confused today"
The knowledge acquired between the ages of 4 and 7 plays a much more important role than we might think.
Because each piece of knowledge you acquire serves as a bridge to accepting the next piece of knowledge.
If we look at the process of knowledge accumulation in children, existing knowledge is combined with newly provided knowledge to expand it further and be stored in memory.
If it is knowledge that the child has never heard before, it will take dozens or hundreds of hearings and acquisitions to become ingrained in the child's brain.
On the other hand, information related to knowledge that is already known can be easily connected and integrated, making it very easy to establish itself as new knowledge.
Therefore, parents of children aged 4 to 7 must properly understand what studies are helpful for their children's cognitive development, and what knowledge will be helpful for their entire lives.
If knowledge is needed, you must know what knowledge is needed before you can begin your child's education.
---From "Part 2 - STEP 01 Two essential knowledge for studying for 4-7 year olds - background knowledge and tacit knowledge"
Attention is broadly divided into visual attention and auditory attention, and its functions are classified into five representative types.
Focused attention is the ability to respond to and focus attention on necessary stimuli; selective attention is the ability to pay attention to only one stimulus among several stimuli; sustained attention is the ability to continue paying attention to only one stimulus; switched attention is the ability to move attention from one task to another; and divided attention is the ability to distribute attention to more than one stimulus at the same time.
Of these, the four types of attention, excluding divided attention, must be developed from the age of 4 to 7.
If any one of the functions of attention is deficient, problems with attention distribution, sustained attention, and attention switching can occur, and information processing speed can slow down, causing problems with the child's studies and even their emotional state when studying.
---From "Part 3 - STEP 01 Attention Essential for Studying 4-7 Year Olds - Is Your Child Good at Concentration? Is Your Child Poor at Attention?"
From around age 4, the frontal lobe develops rapidly, leading to the development of goal-oriented consciousness, attention, and the ability to delay gratification to obtain greater rewards, making intentional control possible.
The important thing here is that children can learn self-control sufficiently from the age of 4.
Therefore, from this point on, proper training is absolutely necessary.
Knowing this, you can realize that you should not tolerate your child's behavior by thinking that everything is okay because they are young.
Ages 4 to 7 are a period in which language development occurs and self-regulation develops rapidly through socialization.
And goal-oriented behavior is prominent in everyday life.
Therefore, you must develop the ability to suppress your impulses and regulate your emotions appropriately to the situation in order to get what you want.
You should never get used to getting what you want by being pushy.
If parents get caught up in their child's tantrum, they have to go back and rebuild their self-control.
---From "Part 4 - STEP 02 The Power of Self-Control - The Correlation Between Self-Control and Studying"
Ages 4 to 7 are a critical period for the development of large and small muscles.
About 60% of agility, coordination, and balance are developed during this period.
That's why large muscle play, such as walking, running, throwing and catching a ball, and having fun running around, should be provided in sufficient quantities every meal.
We need to create an environment where children can freely engage in a variety of activities, such as lifting and moving objects, playing on playground equipment, dancing to music, climbing up and down stairs, role-playing, watering trees, and running errands.
Additionally, fine motor skills play that allows for a variety of hand movements is very important for a child's development and learning ability.
Origami, folding, drawing.
The more fine motor activities such as coloring, pasting, writing, using spoons and chopsticks, playing with clay, playing with blocks, playing with magnets, and knitting, the better.
Remember that these activities have a positive effect on the development of visual-motor coordination, auditory-motor coordination, and also help develop agile processing speed.

Publisher's Review
“Don’t miss your child’s shining moment!”
Ages 4-7, there are things that children really need!
The first study roadmap from director Im Sook Lee, author of the 150,000-seller "Mom's Words Study."
Most children begin studying between the ages of 4 and 7, when their brains, including the temporal lobe responsible for language and the frontal lobe responsible for comprehensive thinking and personality, undergo explosive development and when they first enter institutions such as daycare centers and kindergartens.
In fact, it is a study that is the same in name only, but its appearance is very different.
Some parents meticulously schedule their children to study subjects such as Korean, math, and English, while others say that playing is studying and just let them play without teaching them anything.
You are either caught in the trap of 'If I teach them like this, they will do well' or 'It will be okay if I leave them to play.'
Every parent wants their child to grow up having fun and studying happily.
However, the dichotomous thinking about play and study has become a reality that forces us to choose between play and study by pushing them into extremes.
Director Im-Sook Lee, who has established herself as a warm and solid parenting mentor for Korean parents with the 150,000-selling bestseller “Mom’s Word Study,” saw children between the ages of 4 and 7 changing into pitiful children who could neither play properly nor learn how to study happily. As a result, she could no longer put off writing “There is no more important period than 4 to 7 years of age.”
This book contains the author's experiences and insights gained over 30 years as a mother of two children and over 20 years of healing heartbroken children.
This book covers the three magic keys that determine the development of children aged 4 to 7: knowledge, attention, and self-control. It includes vivid examples, 75 different practical methods such as play, reading, and study, and the author's warm empathy that touches the heart. This book will gladly relieve the worries, anxieties, and curiosities of parents of children aged 4 to 7 and show them the way forward.
“Knowledge, attention, and self-control make a child shine!”
Ages 4-7: A critical period for a child's emotional and cognitive development.
The one parenting guide every parent going through this period must read.
Parents of children aged 4 to 7 must set one standard to raise their children well.
It is the balanced development of emotions and cognition.
A 4-year-old who can solve difficult math problems but is a loner, or a 7-year-old who is bright and polite but doesn't know what their friends know... When this imbalance occurs, parents are confused.
As the child's shortcomings become more apparent, the mind loses balance and begins to lean to one side.
Some people are swept up in their surroundings and are focused on teaching Korean, English, and math, while others deliberately let their children play, thinking that growing up healthy and happy is more important than studying.
However, we must be aware that such biased parenting beliefs ultimately cause imbalances in the child's emotional and cognitive development, ultimately leading to completely unexpected problems.
This means that studying is not necessary for competition, but for the development of children's emotional stability and cognitive abilities.
In other words, the critical period when learning begins in earnest based on stable emotions is between the ages of 4 and 7, and the author emphasizes that the three magical keys of 'knowledge, attention, and self-regulation' are essential for children to develop emotions and cognition in a balanced manner during this period.
[The Magic Key I.
knowledge]
Parents of children aged 4 to 7 must know and teach two types of knowledge to balance their children's emotional and cognitive development.
Background knowledge and tacit knowledge.
Background knowledge refers to knowledge or experience related to a certain subject, or the experience and knowledge that serves as the basis for reading and understanding text, while tacit knowledge refers to knowledge that has been accumulated in one's body through long experience but is difficult to express in words.
A child who knows about a globe can solve a globe puzzle well because of background knowledge, and a child who has watched an animation can easily memorize character names because of tacit knowledge.
In this way, parents of children aged 4 to 7 must be able to cleverly distinguish between the knowledge their children acquire through studying and the knowledge they acquire implicitly, and apply them accordingly.
Then, the child will develop cognitive curiosity to continue learning, and will be able to study while playing.
[Magic Key II.
Attention]
Attention is the ability to focus on what is needed, even when you don't want to, and to devote your full mental energy to the task at hand.
There are many different types of attention, but parents of children aged 4 to 7 should focus on the four types of attention they have.
Visual and auditory focus attention that focuses on necessary stimuli; switched attention that focuses attention on tasks that require more play but require more focus; sustained attention that maintains attention for a certain period of time to complete a task; and selective attention that suppresses other surrounding stimuli when concentrating on a lesson.
As children grow, the most common problem they face in their daily lives and studies is attention problems.
We must remember that the power to grow into a child who looks up immediately when a parent or teacher calls them while reading or playing, or a child who knows how to say, “Let’s play after this is over” when a friend asks them to play while they are doing something, comes from attention.
[Magic Key III.
Self-control]
Self-regulation is one of the most powerful abilities that encompasses self-esteem, self-efficacy, social skills, perseverance and resilience. It is also the ability to regulate your emotions and make wiser choices when you feel stressed or when a task seems difficult.
Self-regulation is the most emotionally connected of the three magic keys to the development of children aged 4 to 7.
A friend asks a child who is busy drawing to play.
At this time, the child can control his desire to finish the drawing and play with friends by saying, “Will you wait a moment? (desire to finish the drawing) I will finish this and then play with you (desire to play with friends).”
In this way, the development of self-control leads to a positive emotion that one can overcome any difficult situation.
“If you want to develop the knowledge, attention, and self-control of a 4-7 year old child?”
“Do you want to study Korean, math, and English while having fun with your 4-7 year old child?”
Includes 75 immediately actionable methods: play, reading, conversation, psychological techniques, and study techniques.
This book is a must-read for any parent with a child between the ages of 4 and 7.
It is especially recommended for parents who are wondering how to teach their children aged 4 to 7, and for parents who want to get their children off to a good start in their studies while maintaining a good relationship with them.
The period from 4 to 7 years of age is a crucial period for nurturing a child's emotional and cognitive development, and is also the time when the first feelings toward studying, that is, the feelings toward studying, are formed. Depending on what parents know and apply to their child-rearing during this time, the child's school life and even the future of the child can change.
The book is packed with not only various methods to develop knowledge, attention, and self-control, the three magic keys that the author emphasizes are essential for the balanced emotional and cognitive development of children aged 4 to 7, but also methods for studying Korean, math, and English that can achieve maximum results with minimal effort, and even physical play methods that take into account the post-COVID-19 situation.

The greatest strength of this book is that it corrects parents' values regarding childcare and children's studies by telling them what to think about and do first during their child's most dazzling period, ages 4 to 7.
So, parents no longer have to wander in worry and anxiety, but can realize what is more important and willingly draw the big picture of parenting.
Therefore, this book will be a blessing for parents with a 4-year-old child, a stroke of luck for parents with a 5-year-old child, a stroke of luck for parents with a 6-year-old child, and a stroke of luck for parents with a 7-year-old child. It will be a must-read for parenting.

“Knowledge, attention, and self-control make a child shine!”
Ages 4-7: A critical period for a child's emotional and cognitive development.
The one parenting guide every parent going through this period must read.
Parents of children aged 4 to 7 must set one standard to raise their children well.
It is the balanced development of emotions and cognition.
A 4-year-old who can solve difficult math problems but is a loner, or a 7-year-old who is bright and polite but doesn't know what their friends know... When this imbalance occurs, parents are confused.
As the child's shortcomings become more apparent, the mind loses balance and begins to lean to one side.
Some people are swept up in their surroundings and are focused on teaching Korean, English, and math, while others deliberately let their children play, thinking that growing up healthy and happy is more important than studying.
However, we must be aware that such biased parenting beliefs ultimately cause imbalances in the child's emotional and cognitive development, ultimately leading to completely unexpected problems.
This means that studying is not necessary for competition, but for the development of children's emotional stability and cognitive abilities.
In other words, the critical period when learning begins in earnest based on stable emotions is between the ages of 4 and 7, and the author emphasizes that the three magical keys of 'knowledge, attention, and self-regulation' are essential for children to develop emotions and cognition in a balanced manner during this period.
[The Magic Key I.
knowledge]
Parents of children aged 4 to 7 must know and teach two types of knowledge to balance their children's emotional and cognitive development.
Background knowledge and tacit knowledge.
Background knowledge refers to knowledge or experience related to a certain subject, or the experience and knowledge that serves as the basis for reading and understanding text, while tacit knowledge refers to knowledge that has been accumulated in one's body through long experience but is difficult to express in words.
A child who knows about a globe can solve a globe puzzle well because of background knowledge, and a child who has watched an animation can easily memorize character names because of tacit knowledge.
In this way, parents of children aged 4 to 7 must be able to cleverly distinguish between the knowledge their children acquire through studying and the knowledge they acquire implicitly, and apply them accordingly.
Then, the child will develop cognitive curiosity to continue learning, and will be able to study while playing.
[Magic Key II.
Attention]
Attention is the ability to focus on what is needed, even when you don't want to, and to devote your full mental energy to the task at hand.
There are many different types of attention, but parents of children aged 4 to 7 should focus on the four types of attention they have.
Visual and auditory focus attention that focuses on necessary stimuli; switched attention that focuses attention on tasks that require more play but require more focus; sustained attention that maintains attention for a certain period of time to complete a task; and selective attention that suppresses other surrounding stimuli when concentrating on a lesson.
As children grow, the most common problem they face in their daily lives and studies is attention problems.
We must remember that the power to grow into a child who looks up immediately when a parent or teacher calls them while reading or playing, or a child who knows how to say, “Let’s play after this is over” when a friend asks them to play while they are doing something, comes from attention.
[Magic Key III.
Self-control]
Self-regulation is one of the most powerful abilities that encompasses self-esteem, self-efficacy, social skills, perseverance and resilience. It is also the ability to regulate your emotions and make wiser choices when you feel stressed or when a task seems difficult.
Self-regulation is the most emotionally connected of the three magic keys to the development of children aged 4 to 7.
A friend asks a child who is busy drawing to play.
At this time, the child can control his desire to finish the drawing and play with friends by saying, “Will you wait a moment? (desire to finish the drawing) I will finish this and then play with you (desire to play with friends).”
In this way, the development of self-control leads to a positive emotion that one can overcome any difficult situation.
“If you want to develop the knowledge, attention, and self-control of a 4-7 year old child?”
“Do you want to study Korean, math, and English while having fun with your 4-7 year old child?”
Includes 75 immediately actionable methods: play, reading, conversation, psychological techniques, and study techniques.
This book is a must-read for any parent with a child between the ages of 4 and 7.
It is especially recommended for parents who are wondering how to teach their children aged 4 to 7, and for parents who want to get their children off to a good start in their studies while maintaining a good relationship with them.
The period from 4 to 7 years of age is a crucial period for nurturing a child's emotional and cognitive development, and is also the time when the first feelings toward studying, that is, the feelings toward studying, are formed. Depending on what parents know and apply to their child-rearing during this time, the child's school life and even the future of the child can change.
The book is packed with not only various methods to develop knowledge, attention, and self-control, the three magic keys that the author emphasizes are essential for the balanced emotional and cognitive development of children aged 4 to 7, but also methods for studying Korean, math, and English that can achieve maximum results with minimal effort, and even physical play methods that take into account the post-COVID-19 situation.
