Epilogue: When a mother's studies are over, a child's studies are on track.

A confession from an ordinary mother who raised her three children as gifted children without any special private education.
Author Seo An-jeong, who has worked as a parenting mentor for 17 years at Purum.com, a website specializing in early childhood education, and has raised three daughters into gifted children.
She is a celebrity on Purum.com and is known for providing practical and useful information on everything from common parenting questions to how to study for children at school, as well as tips that can be put into practice and applied right away.
How did she raise her three children as gifted students without any private tutoring or even the use of standard workbooks? All three daughters passed the gifted education program's tests without any special preparation and are happily pursuing their studies at international and science high schools, each following their own path.
Author Seo An-jeong, who had a very ordinary and somewhat immortal childhood, read over 1,500 parenting books in her desire to raise her children well.
What she realized through that process was that good grades, a prestigious university, and a great job cannot be the true goals for raising a child.
This realization gave me the strength to look at my child without scolding him for still playing during exam periods, and it allowed me to focus more on the things I need in the distant future—self-esteem, positivity, love, and challenges—rather than the immediate hurdles.


10 Seeds to Raise Your Child to Be a Self-Learning Child
She tells us what the 10 seeds are that have been the driving force behind raising smart and wise children.
First, to raise a child who is fearless and willing to take on any challenge, the parent needs encouragement that shows their faith.
Second, when it comes to homework, lifestyle habits, and money education, a wait-and-see attitude is also necessary.
Third, in cases of smartphone and game addiction, we need to be bold and learn moderation. Fourth, in order to solve problems of friendships and bullying, we must recognize that the relationship with parents, which is the foundation of social life, is most important.
Fifth, in order to successfully overcome puberty, you must adopt an independent attitude that acknowledges your child's desire for growth.
Sixth, we must look behind us and trust our children's choices for their vague but certain dreams that will come true someday. Seventh, we must help them build knowledge through diverse experiences, experiments, and play.
Eighth, when children are lost, we must remind them of the importance of reading so that they can find answers in books. Ninth, we must help them resolve their anxiety by providing clear directions between school and the future.
The tenth and final thing is that the most important thing in this entire process is for the caregiver to grow through face-to-face encounters with their true self.

When a child reaches adolescence, when he or she wants to grow up and become his or her own unique self, the child's strong light touches the inner child, the shadow within the mother, and urges the mother to grow.
A mother is the destiny of her child.
Only after a mother has completed her studies can she properly raise her child and make him or her independent as a unique individual.
This book will be a good guide on that path.
_From the words of recommendation from my father, Purum

A mother should look into her own inner self as often as she looks at her child.
Author Seo An-jeong says that raising a child is the process of realizing that there is no need to use an umbrella today to avoid getting rained on tomorrow.
For 20 years, I have been raising children and I have done my best every day, hoping that my children will not grow up before I do.
It was the same feeling as all mothers who hoped that their children would live a better life in a slightly better environment than their own, and in the process, they realized that the children who had grown up over the years had also grown themselves.
In this way, the child and mother grew together.
If you want your child to be happy, the mother must be happy first, and only when the mother's studies are finished can the child's studies begin.
This book provides useful and practical information on parenting and learning, including practical study methods such as homework habits, establishing a study schedule, finding a child's career path, trusting the school and finding direction, as well as ways to fill a child's self-esteem and happiness.


Reader Recommendations

The author, who has been my parenting mentor for 15 years, tells me about how she herself grew continuously and raised her three children as gifted children without private education.
This book is so honest and genuine about the process of parenting and the inner healing of the caregiver that I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
It would be a loss if you don't read this book.
When mothers are happy, parenting naturally becomes happy.
I highly recommend this book to mothers who want to raise their children happily.
Because I have no doubt that after reading this book, not only parenting but also life will become easier.
-Kim Su-yeon, parent of two high school-aged sisters

This is a parenting encyclopedia that contains all of author Seo An-jeong's essence, which is contained in play workshops, reading, and economic education lectures.
If you are a parent who is struggling, hurting, angry, and lost in parenting issues, or if you are a parent who wants to raise your child well, I highly recommend reading this book.
Your daily life will become peaceful and you will discover the love within you that allows you to accept your child as he or she is.
-Kim Hong-seon, parent of a 4th grade elementary school student

A precious book that sincerely shares the process of a mother's inner growth along with her child's growth.
If I had encountered this book ten years ago, wouldn't my children have enjoyed a slightly easier and happier adolescence? I believe the author's insight from her painful experience will be of great help to parents who are unsure how to raise their children.
-Jeong Seong-hee, mother of three

As I was losing my way after sending my daughter, whom I had raised with love in my arms, into the world of school, author Seo An-jeong gave me a lot of insight.
I learned that I need to grow my own vessel to give wings to my child, and this book contains all the methods and know-how to do that.
-Son Lee-young, parent of a third-grade elementary school student
