Children who grow as much as they believe
Description
Book Introduction
The parenting bible loved by 400,000 readers for 23 years!
The story of Park Hye-ran, a mother who transferred and sent her three sons to Seoul National University "for free."
This book, which persuasively captures the author's educational philosophy through various episodes experienced by children as they grow up, has sold over 400,000 copies to date and is still considered a must-read for parents.
The reason this book has been loved and read by parents for so long is probably because it offers comfort and strength, rather than instruction, to parents who are struggling under the pressure of being a "good parent."
The author's argument that we should believe in children's potential and allow them to pursue what they want to do is a core principle of child education that parents today, who believe that sending their children to prestigious universities is the best parenting practice, should truly keep in mind.

Into the book
When women who are not yet married ask for autographs, I ask them instead.
It's a book written by your mother's generation, so isn't it too old-fashioned?
They answer.
Even now, nothing has changed at all from then.
I'm so scared and unsure about raising a child.
So, I can relate to the story of raising children according to their own convictions without being swayed by the world, and I get a lot of comfort and encouragement from it.
Whenever I feel uneasy, I open a book and read any page, and it makes me feel better.
---From "Dedicated to the 4th Edition"
Whether the mother is employed or not, parents must first be stable in order to provide emotional stability to their children.
The fact that my husband and I were born a little bit slow-witted is something we can all thank our parents for.
But being naturally dull is not something to be proud of.
Rather, it is much more desirable and valuable to work on yourself to develop a dull personality, or in other words, an emotionally stable personality.
---From "It's Easy to Be Dull"
His theory was simple.
Children from homes where the mother is too neat are said to lack imagination, are not creative, and ultimately do not do well in school.
Human imagination can flourish freely in a chaotic space.
He said that after coming to Korea, he was very frustrated because all his friends said that they wanted their children to study well, but in reality, they were hindering their children's development.
The last thing he said to me was something I had only dreamed of.
“You are a mother who knows how to inspire her children,” he said.
They say that a cow catches a mouse by backing up, and that was said about me.
---From “A house is for people”
One day, I was sitting in the living room studying past midnight, and I was so upset that I fell down on the dining table and cried.
'How can someone be so stupid?
Maybe it's like this...' he said, lamenting.
I was lying there crying for a while when a small body was carried onto my back.
It was the second.
I think he woke up because he had to go to the bathroom and was surprised to see his mom like that.
"Mom told us to stop thinking that we had to be number one, and now that things aren't going our way, you're upset, right? Mom, you don't have to be number one.
“You just have to work hard.”

Publisher's Review
The parenting bible loved by 400,000 readers for 23 years!
The story of Park Hye-ran, a mother who transferred and sent her three sons to Seoul National University "for free."
Published in 1996, this book has been reprinted over 23 years and has become a legend in the world of child education. It is loved by readers from mother to daughter and from generation to generation.
The author's message that children grow as much as their parents believe in them, and that all parents have to do is to believe in their children and watch over them until the end, has been a source of comfort and encouragement to countless parents.
In this era of early education and college entrance exam fever, it has become too difficult to unconditionally trust and wait for children.
This is why parents, who are often shaken by the words of the mother next door who always seems to be ahead of the curve and the flood of information pouring out from experts and private education companies, have continued to seek out the core principles of child education in this book for a quarter of a century.
As I raise my children, I feel myself growing along with them - Park Hye-ran
If we look at the current world's formula of sending a child to a top university to become a top-tier mother, Park Hye-ran is not just a top-tier mother, she is a top-tier mother.
The first one graduated from Seoul National University's Department of Architecture and its graduate school, and then completed graduate school at MIT's Department of Architecture and is currently a professor in the department. The second one debuted with [Snail] while attending Seoul National University's Department of Sociology and is currently an all-round artist who works not only in music but also in dramas, entertainment, and novels. The third one, who prepared not only his own lunchbox but also his two older brothers' breakfast throughout his senior year of high school, graduated from Seoul National University's Department of Anthropology and is currently working as a drama director.
Nowadays, there are endless requests from all over the country to give lectures on the secrets of raising great children, but before the children entered college, people around me would gossip about me as a "bad mother" and a "toxic mother who ruins her children's future."
The secret, not the secret, of Park Hye-ran, who seems to have raised her children 'roughly' but 'vigorously', is "Don't try to raise your children, just watch them grow up.
“That way, both the child and the parents will be happy.”
Although it may seem like they were just 'abandoned' to those around them, because their mother unwaveringly believed in them and looked after them, the children were able to find what they truly wanted to do and develop independence.
Park Hye-ran's "Slow Parenting" Method
This book, which persuasively captures the author's educational philosophy through various episodes experienced by children as they grow up, has sold over 400,000 copies to date and is still considered a must-read for parents.
The reason this book has been loved and read by parents for so long is probably because it offers comfort and strength, rather than instruction, to parents who are struggling under the pressure of being a "good parent."

Recommendation
If you're simply looking for a way to send your child to 'SKY', you'll need to look elsewhere.
This book contains more ways to open a child's eyes to help them fly to the 'sky'.
-mllesuu
For me, who interferes as tightly as a net, this book is truly a great revolution -cornflake
A book that brought me great comfort as I was about to become a mother, struggling with anxiety and impatience - Reading Queen
I read this book once before becoming a parent and it has stayed with me for a long time since I became a parent.
-Hyun Mom, who loves books
I hope that when my children go out into the world and face hardships and exhaustion, they will find endless comfort and courage in knowing that their mother believes in them.
This is probably the most important role as a mother.
