Learning specific ways to properly use the power given to parents is the fundamental meaning of a 'parent's license'.

For Christian parents, their children are 'a soul to be gained.'
Even if you are born to believing parents and attend church with your parents, your child is not a ‘soul already acquired.’
This is a soul that I, as a parent, must obtain so that it is not taken away by the world.
This is a soul that needs to be raised with 'effort' rather than 'spending money', by capturing their hearts, touching them, being willing to stay by their side, and showing them the life of a healthy and happy parent in God.

Among the many parents I've met, there are some who cherish their children, but surprisingly focus on their children's weaknesses rather than their strengths.
I even meet parents who only see their children's flaws.

What's interesting is that the feelings I have when I think of my children as a 'parent' are completely different from the feelings I have when I think of my children as a 'parent'.
Let's think about our children from a parent's perspective.
The moment a child is born, the small feet that take their first steps, the sight of them running to school in their uniform, the way they follow and stay with their parents despite their shortcomings - everything is so grateful, warm, and touching.
But when I look at my children as a parent, I feel surveillance rather than gratitude, and I feel reprimand rather than emotion.
He watches to see if they are studying well, and if he doesn't like something, he pushes them by saying, "I'm doing my best for you, but is this all you can do?"
Every time this happens, the child's self-esteem falls apart.
The situation is repeated where parents only point out their children's shortcomings as if they themselves have no shortcomings at all.
When parents see themselves as parents, it is difficult to see their children as they really are.
Parents have an ideal image of their children, so it is impossible for the child to look good.
Parents are very likely to mess up everything, including their relationships with their children, because they are just stamping their feet and being impatient.

There are some mistakes parents can easily make when observing their children's strengths.
The idea is to find your child's strengths when it comes to learning ability.
So my child doesn't seem to have many strengths.
However, a child with good concentration may be late to school because he or she lost track of time after playing in the bathtub before going to school, and a child with high interpersonal intelligence may seem like a friend-loving child with no interest in schoolwork until he or she discovers meaningful activities with people.

I had this conversation with my two daughters a while ago.
The daughters each had aspects of their appearance or personality that they didn't like, but since their parents found out the good in them, and the eldest daughter's husband was also happy with them, it gradually became less of a problem.
The conclusion of the conversation we had that day was that 'loving oneself is difficult with one's own strength alone, and loving oneself is completely accomplished through God, parents, and spouse.'
It's an obvious conclusion.

Parents also don't get along well with their children.
When I lecture or coach, I always recommend one-on-one dates to connect with your children.
When you have multiple children, one-on-one dates with each child are essential.
When dating your children, you also need to be mindful of your attire.
Let's go out in fresh clothes that your children will like.
That alone will help your child realize how precious he or she is.

The greatest gift parents can give their children is themselves.
What parents have (having) and what they can do (doing) are not as important as what parents are (being).

---p.126

Parents who believe in their children's potential and potential, who anticipate and discover it! Parents who believe their children are pursuing their dreams and who view their actions with a positive eye! Parents who believe their children have the ability to solve problems and believe that any challenges they face will lead to greater maturity! How wonderful it would be to grow up under such parents.
If only this could happen, children would feel God's strength and gaze upon them from their parents, and they would be able to walk this difficult path of life with a little more ease and happiness.

If you want to teach your children about the Word and prayer, you must prioritize God and create a schedule.
We need time to meditate on the Word, share it, and pray with our young children.
Parents and children also need enjoyable time together.
To do this, we must help them digest public education, which is school education, as best as possible.
