Book Introduction
You have so much potential! Are you ready to become a genius?

How does an ordinary child become a gifted student, and how does he or she study? This book details study methods and strategic know-how, based on case studies, from elementary school teachers who graduated from science high schools and students who graduated from gifted high schools.
It also provides parents with various coping strategies for different situations that they should prepare for their children.

This book contains the magical secrets of Mr. Ha-Woo Young and the Little Newton children, who have swept various competitions across the country and demonstrated their talents in various fields, as well as methods for nurturing dreams and discovering potential.
This book also allows us to say that 'giftedness is not something that is innate, but rather something that is expressed through the effort put into the potential that everyone possesses.'
Therefore, this book is a must-read not only for students preparing for gifted schools, but also for all students across the country.

Into the book
There is no such thing as an ordinary child from the beginning.
Many parents judge their children based on their current grades.
But you shouldn't judge your children too quickly.
Don't be discouraged if your child isn't currently studying on his or her own.
I hope that through this book, you too can find hope in becoming a genius.
---From the "Prologue"

I believe that how a child initially approaches learning has a decisive impact on their attitude and enjoyment of learning.
In particular, I think that first impressions about studying during childhood are important.
Forcing children to learn by rote memorization or by insisting that they understand something like, "1+1 is 2. Why don't you know this?" is a shortcut to making them distance themselves from studying.
This approach can stifle a child's natural curiosity and interest in learning, making studying seem burdensome and unpleasant.
In contrast, it is important to actively support children when they show interest and willingness to learn on their own.
Rather than trying to force children to learn difficult material at a young age, we should help them discover the joy of learning on their own.
This is an important way to help children grow at their own pace and explore new knowledge with confidence.
--- p.141

I think the most important thing is to know what subjects your children dislike and why.
Because you need to know the cause to be able to solve it.
There are many reasons why children dislike certain subjects.
For example, some people dislike Korean because they are slow readers or because there are no set answers like in math.
Depending on the teaching style or the teacher's approach, you may lose interest.
When studying through discussion, it can be difficult because you don't know what the exact content is or what the conclusion is.

Publisher's Review
[He persuaded parents who thought their children were ordinary to take an interest in their children.
So, 15 out of 24 students in our class entered the gifted education center.] This book introduces the gifted formula.

This book was written by teachers who have received gifted education since childhood, graduated from science high schools, graduated from gifted education centers, and have dedicated their entire teaching careers to gifted education. It contains the secrets of Mr. Ha Woo-young, who has won first place in various science and invention competitions for students and teachers across the country, and the Little Newton club.
Additionally, the A to Z of how ordinary children in classes and clubs were accepted to gifted education centers and advanced to gifted schools is revealed in detail.

And we're providing detailed information on 26 questions that parents across the country are curious about.
In particular, it contains vivid stories of a teacher who graduated from a science high school (Teacher Ha Woo-young), a student who was in a club since 5th grade and entered the best Korean Science Academy for Gifted Students through continuous activities with Teacher Ha Woo-young (Student Jang Seul-gi), a recipient of the Republic of Korea Talent Award (Student Jang Na-ra), and a parent of such a child (Mother Kim Ji-yeon).

In addition, the secret to producing successful applicants for the past two consecutive years (2022 and 2023) through the Jang Young-sil Admissions Program at the Korea Science Academy is also covered in detail.
