Description
Book Introduction
“40 current teachers answer the concerns of elementary school mothers in Korea!”

The first book from the Naver Cafe "Elementary School Mom," with 77,000 members.
Written by 40 current teachers, the first of its kind in Korea
The Ultimate Study Method for Surely Improving Grades Revealed
A must-read for elementary school moms, as recognized by experts


The Naver Cafe 'Elementary School Mom' bulletin board, which has over 77,000 members, is filled with hundreds of questions from mothers every day.
Most of the questions are ones that are difficult to ask the teacher by calling or visiting the school, and most of the concerns are ones that cannot be resolved during the extremely short counseling week.
These days, there is an overflow of information saying this and that, but the reality is that it is difficult to find a clear and satisfying answer.
The author says he wanted to find solutions to these mothers' concerns and questions from the teachers who meet children in the classroom every day.
"Six Years of Elementary School Determine a Child's Life" was meticulously written by 40 current elementary school teachers with diverse and extensive field experience ranging from 10 to 30 years, by poring over textbooks and guidebooks, re-reading official documents, and asking for help from fellow teachers.
Contents that may contain subjective opinions were compiled into one by gathering the opinions of three or more teachers.
So, here, the vivid questions of elementary school mothers and the sharp answers of current teachers have come together to create a unique guide to elementary school questions.
This book will serve as a polished, well-honed walking stick for Korean elementary school parents who are overwhelmed with countless choices and concerns for their children.

Into the book
At school, we do a variety of activities outside of class.
For first graders, play activities can help them relieve the stress of school life and make friends more easily.
Since there are usually over twenty students in a class, the level of these activities, like the lessons themselves, is geared towards intermediate level students.
Therefore, if the level of various activities at school is not suitable for you, you may not feel interested in the activities themselves and may think that they are trivial.

_ From "Why do children say school is boring?"

From a teacher's perspective, I would not recommend transferring during the semester for upperclassmen.
Younger children adapt well to transferring schools during the semester and quickly become friends with their classmates.
However, after the 4th grade, when peer groups begin to form, many children are reluctant to have new friends join their group, and because the bonds they have built with existing children are strong, they often do not make new friends.
_ From "Is it okay to transfer during the semester?"

Writing a diary is not studying Korean.
Correcting misspellings or spacing can interfere with your diary writing.
The most important thing to focus on is to write freely about what I have experienced or thought.
Here are some tips to make journaling fun.
_ From “How should I prepare for dictation, diary, and reading log?”

If the damage from school violence is so severe that a child has difficulty going to school or is unable to go, the child can receive priority protection measures from a school violence response organization.
In this case, the victimized student may be isolated from other students and may receive attendance credit for absences due to the victimization.
In addition, if the school violence case is related to sexual violence, we will take it more seriously and report it to the police immediately upon learning of it, and prioritize measures and form a school violence countermeasures autonomous committee in accordance with school violence procedures.

_ From “How should we respond when school violence occurs?”

If your child is too shy to express himself, he may seem like he is being manipulated by the so-called "strong" kids who are more expressive.
At this time, you need to practice saying firmly and clearly, "Don't do that!" or "I don't like it."
Also, please remind and repeatedly teach your child that he or she is responsible for making his or her own judgments about right and wrong and for choosing his or her own actions, as he or she may wear a weak mask and be swayed by strong friends and engage in deviant behavior that deviates from the rules and order.

_ From “How can I help a child who is struggling with conflicts with friends?”

It is normal for elementary school children to be distracted.
However, if your child is always unable to submit assignments and is distracted to the point of disrupting class, you may need active parental help.
Please practice focusing consistently at home.
For example, it is helpful to set a goal, such as 'solve one page of arithmetic workbook in 10 minutes', and practice completing only one task within the time limit.
At this time, it is important to let go of greed and decide on a time and amount that the child can concentrate on.
No matter how busy you are, it is good for the mother to sit next to the child during this time and help the child focus.
After completing a task, give plenty of rewards and praise.
_ From “How should I help a child who is slow at solving problems?”

The diverse range of children's cases cannot be generalized with a few explanations.
However, let's look at some common characteristics of children who improve their grades as middle school students or who consistently study well in elementary and middle school.

_ From “What do children whose grades improve as they advance in grade level have in common?”

Dental care is very important during elementary school.
This is the period when baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth grow in, and jaw growth occurs.
It is necessary to check for malocclusion in relation to the management of baby and permanent teeth and jaw growth.
Also, dental problems often occur between the ages of 7 and 12, when children can brush their teeth on their own, due to a lack of parental attention.
There are many.
Until the 5th grade of elementary school, parents must ensure that their children brush their teeth before going to bed.
Use dental floss to clean the gaps between the molars and the back of the innermost molars that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush.

"Six Years of Elementary School Determine a Child's Life" divides the questions that mothers most want to know and need information about when raising elementary school children into six areas and explains them.
These include school life, study methods, private education, friendships, health development, and daily life.
It is organized in a question and answer format that targets the parts that every elementary school mother in Korea would be curious about, and will make you say, "Oh, I was wondering about this too."
Although it does not fall into this category, we have also included frequently asked questions from other areas and useful information about school life in general.


We often say that elementary school grades determine college entrance exam scores, and that friends made in elementary school last a lifetime.
In that sense, our children's first six years of elementary school are an important period in which they build the foundation for their future lives.
This is the same reason why there are so many books on the market about elementary school life, the growth of elementary school students, and the concerns of mothers.
However, few can provide clear answers to mothers' concerns and questions as well as current teachers, who meet students in the field every day and consult with dozens of parents each year.
Therefore, this book, created by 40 elementary school moms and current teachers, will be the best elementary school bible that can perfectly lay the foundation for our children's studies, friends, and health for the first six years of elementary school.



A child's study habits are created by their parents.
“How can I improve my Korean, English, and math skills?”


It is said that the academic gap usually begins to widen from the third grade of elementary school.
The academic gap that gradually widens from the third grade becomes evident in the fifth and sixth grades.
There are students who say, “I’m a dropout,” or “I’m a dropout” in the fifth grade.
However, there is no need to worry too much, as the academic gap only widens from the third year, and it is not that the academic gap cannot be reduced.
In particular, Korean, English, and math are subjects that require constant attention and monitoring to ensure that your child is keeping up with schoolwork.
Here is a brief overview of the tips for grasping elementary Korean, English, and math introduced in the book.


It is good to read a lot in the Korean language class.
If your child doesn't read well, parents should start by reading stories from the textbook.
I can read the story in the textbook in 5 minutes.
Next, it would be a good idea to go to the library or bookstore with your child to find books that tell the stories in the textbook.
School libraries usually have storybooks that appear in textbooks as required reading for each grade, so please refer to them.

In schools where English is taught, students who read thick original texts coexist in the same classroom as students who don't know phonics and can't even read 'apple'.
Therefore, if a child feels that he or she is relatively bad at English, he or she may lose confidence and feel aversion or burden towards English. Therefore, it is important to teach him or her phonics and basic reading and speaking skills.
YouTube is the best English language learning resource in the world.
It would be good to start with "Peppa Pig" and "Caillou" and then expose them to a variety of videos from the English-speaking world, such as "Arthur Adventure" and "Odd Squad".


In math classes, if the content of the previous grade is lacking, it is very difficult to understand the content of the next grade.
You must know more than 80% of the math for that grade and learn the math for the next grade to avoid becoming a 'math dropout'.
If your score is below 60 points when solving the math workbook, I recommend purchasing another workbook and solving it. If your score is around 60-70 points, I recommend purchasing a basic workbook and solving it. If your score is around 70-90 points, I recommend purchasing an applied workbook and solving it. If your score is over 90 points, I recommend purchasing an applied or advanced workbook and solving it.


The book argues that rather than over-interfering in their children's learning, mothers need to show their children that they are working hard to learn what they want to learn.
It is said that seeing a mother passionately and joyfully doing something she likes is more stimulating to children than nagging them to study.
So sometimes it can be more effective to sit next to your child at their study desk and read or do the necessary studying on your own.
"The Six Years of Elementary School Determine a Child's Life" is full of study methods that improve grades as children advance through the grades, as well as various know-hows to help children study independently.
