How did Lee Soo become Lee Soo?
Lee Soo's mother, Kim Na-yoon, shares her empathetic parenting method with her children!

After the 4th broadcast of the Gifted Discovery Team, people have been showing interest and asking questions like, “You’re amazing,” “How do you raise your children like that?” and “How can you raise four children without yelling at them?”
But there are many things that are missing from Isu's house.
Most books are borrowed and read, so there are no piles of books, no cell phones, and no nagging.
Since there aren't many parishes or books, there's more space to run around and play, and since there are no cell phones, there's more conversation among family members.
But there are some things that must be observed in Lee Soo's house.
A promise to enjoy freedom, feel nature, and listen to the voices of one's family.
When you teach children responsible freedom, they stop being stubborn, and when parents keep their promises first, children completely trust their parents.
As I play in nature, trees become my friends and I talk to the wind.
Also, since the mother shows the child through actions without trying to teach, the child naturally follows.


Hearing the voices of your family is the beginning of empathy.
This is also not difficult.
It's about loving, listening to, and believing in children.
What stands in the way of that easy path? If parents simply let go of their impatience and greed, their children's minds and hearts will grow rapidly.

Into the book

Everyone forgets when they become adults.
The fact that he was also a child.
The words I wanted to say when I was young… … .
'Even my mother would have done the same thing to you.
'It's annoying.' 'Your heart wants that.' 'Mom is always by your side.' 'You'll do well.
"Cheer up! You did a great job." As an adult raising a child, I tried to keep this thought in mind every time I encountered it: "If I were that child, how would I feel right now?" - Mind Reading

I made so many mistakes when I was still inexperienced in parenting.
I couldn't tell what was right and what was wrong, and I was confused about what the right way to raise children was. So, when I saw that there were people who had raised children a few months longer than me, I listened to their experiences, and since it seemed right, I tried to follow suit.
Because Lee Soo was the first child, there were even more trials and errors for Lee Soo.
So I always feel sorry for Lee Soo.
I'm sorry for being such a clumsy mother.
Why was raising a child so difficult back then? Even now, when I think about my overwhelming emotions back then, I feel suffocated.
Compared to raising four children now, raising one child is nothing, but I was young at the time and didn't know much about raising children, so I think it was overwhelming.
- Chikachika

Even now, 10 years later, my parenting is just one thing.
If our hearts are connected, then there is no right answer to anything.
I made many mistakes while raising Isu, but I don't think it was wrong because the child knows and feels my true feelings, my mother's feelings.
As we fought like that for several years, Isu grew up, and we grew up together.
My husband spoke to me around the time Isu started talking.
“I don’t know why I did that back then.
“I guess because he graduated from an engineering school, he only developed a brain that was good at solving problems right in front of him.” From then on, I could see my husband trying to change little by little.
But even now, I sometimes hear Lee Soo nagging me.
“Dad! Don’t talk so much about trying to solve something.
Just say one word.
I think I would do the same to you!

Publisher's Review
Let's forget the entrance exam coordination that appears in [SKY Castle].

Kim Na-yoon, mother of the young writer Jeon I-su, shares her method of raising children in Korea!

[Genius Discovery Team] Episode 4, the family of 'Jeon I-su' who published 4 picture book books, 'I-su's mom' Kim Na-yoon's empathetic parenting method that helped her four children freely develop their individuality!

Lee Su started publishing books when he was 9 years old.
"Little Crocodile Taco" captures the world we live in through the eyes of a little crocodile, while "Walking Wolves" compares the image of Orom seen through the eyes of a wolf to the image of people becoming increasingly helpless due to their dependence on machines. "New Family?" depicts the difficulties faced by an adopted second sibling and the importance of family.
"Do you love my family?" Lee Soo's heart grew further, developing a warm perspective on the world and a love for family, nature, and animals, and this love deepened into a love for all living things in the world.


Author Kim Na-yoon, the mother of Lee Soo, is by the child's side as he expresses and imagines all these things.
I go up to the roof with my kids and wait under a blanket to watch the sunrise. When my kids draw all over the car or wall, I play with them as if it were a game, and when they clean up, I have fun playing with them as if it were a game.
Even when 8-year-old Lee Soo wanted to go to a flea market to sell, she went with him, and even when he grew his hair long for years to help children with cancer, she supported his thoughts and listened to his stories. She is the most reliable friend and mother.


It wasn't because she had everything that Lee Soo's mother was able to raise her children freely and like friends.
He grew up under overbearing parents who never once told him they loved him, and as his family's financial situation worsened due to the IMF crisis, he took a break from school and returned to school repeatedly, graduating from college after nine years.
He lost all his belongings in a flood in his basement studio apartment.
It was so hard that I went to Sorok Island and spent about a year doing volunteer work.
He confesses that these twists and turns in time have shaped him.
Rather than succumbing to hardship and being weakly led, she became a mother of four children, with more love and the ability to understand people.
As a child, I always wanted to have family meetings, dreamed of a free school life, and promised myself that I would be a mother who told many stories.
Carrying out that long-held dream, I am still growing with my children, engraving the keywords of parenting—love, freedom, and empathy—in my heart.
He wrote about his life and parenting philosophy in a book titled, "Would I Do the Same Thing as You?"


Dreams and reality are different, so there are many mistakes, and the story of Isu getting hurt after choosing a daycare center based on the adults' perspective, and the story of the family agreeing to adopt three children after giving birth and going through with unexpected difficulties and hard times.
And Lee Soo's mother's health is not good either.
But today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be even better than today.
All of this is overcome with the power of family, and they say that family is the answer.
