Growing up as a smart and articulate child The power of 'Elementary Core Thinking Speaking'! The guiding principles of speaking habits that fuel learning, relationships, logic, and confidence.

Into the book
The ultimate reason I talk about speaking skills is 'self-awareness' and 'magnetization'.
I give lectures on reading education to parents and reading teachers.
Giving a lecture is the process of expressing my knowledge and thoughts in words.
The more I lecture, the more I constantly review and refine what I say and the thoughts I express through it.
The process of constantly recognizing and refining one's thoughts can be said to be the process of 'recognizing oneself' and, furthermore, becoming 'one's true self.'
Speaking may seem like an act of transmitting something of mine to others, but it is ultimately a way to reach out to myself.
I hope that our children will also be able to reach their true selves through speaking, which is something that every human being must achieve in life.
---From "What You Can Gain Just by Talking Well"
Have you ever given in to your child's every wish before they can express it properly, simply because you love them or because their eyes appeal to your affection? Not being able to clearly articulate what you want and why isn't much different from having no opinions or thoughts of your own.
Speaking is not simply a matter of saying or not saying what is on the surface.
It's a question of whether or not you can proactively solve your own life's needs and problems.
Remember this and gently guide your child through verbal requests when they appeal for affection.
---From "Practice of Clearly Explaining Your Intentions"
Children are prone to expressing their emotions when they feel uncomfortable.
In such cases, if parents also talk about their emotions, the problem will not be solved.
Even children know too well that talking like that won't solve the problem.
Help them calm down and express their thoughts clearly through questions.
If you experience that the problem is solved after saying that, you will try to organize your thoughts and speak on your own from then on.
---From "Speaking Your Thoughts Truthfully"
First of all, if you ran for office because you wanted to be class president, even if it was not for the sake of the class but rather because you wanted to hold the position, please make sure to let them know that you need to make realistic and worthwhile promises.
I think this goes beyond just the class president election, but rather, it's about one's attitude and demeanor toward any task or position.
To run for class president, you need to practice speaking, including stating your pledges.
Usually, I write my class president election speech first and then speak based on it.
However, if you write the text first, it is easy for the text to become unnecessarily long-winded.
It is a good idea to first think about your ideas verbally before writing them down, and then refine them while speaking.
---From "Speaking of Class President Election Promises"
The next most important thing after explaining what you learned is to say what you think is the most important thing you learned today.
It's not about 'what's important', it's about 'what you think is important'.
In fact, there is something important in everything we learn, but it is very difficult for elementary school students to grasp it.
There are many cases where the content learned is similar and continues without much deviation.
So, you need to have them say something with a bit of subjectivity, like "what they think is important," so that they can actively recall the learning content.
But please let me tell you the 'reason' this time.
Then you can see why it was considered important.
---From "Speaking after Learning"
If someone says something rude, you need to first make them aware of it.
As I mentioned before, there are many cases where people don't even realize they've said something rude.
To make your opponent aware of this, you can do the following:
Look into the other person's eyes for a few seconds and then repeat back what they said.
And when I heard that, I spoke my mind.
Tell the other person why you shouldn't say that to them.
Finally, I ask you not to say that.

Publisher's Review
“The child who expresses his thoughts well will ultimately win!”
Author of 『Elementary Mini Essay Calendar 365』 × Elementary Essay Education Expert
Insights from Professor Oh Hyun-seon's 24 Years of Essay Teaching
As children progress from lower to upper grades in elementary school, even within the same grade, there are significant differences in the amount of learning, vocabulary level, logic, and expressive ability.
The most noticeable difference among them is the ‘way of speaking.’
There are children who mumble and talk incoherently, and these children, who are often called articulate, lack confidence and appear to lack social skills and logical reasoning.
On the other hand, children who express their thoughts calmly and logically are more likely to be recognized not only for their language skills but also for their school life and relationships with friends.
They have excellent thinking skills, and they are able to grasp the core idea through listening and organize the logic that follows that core idea, so their writing skills and learning ability are bound to be exceptional.
Subjects like English and math can be learned at school or at academies, but learning how to express your thoughts and listen to others is most effective when learned at home with your parents.
This is because speaking skills can be sufficiently improved through daily habits and communication with parents.
Author Oh Hyeon-seon, an elementary school essay education expert who wrote the best-selling book “Elementary School Mini Essay Calendar 365” that has received praise from numerous parents, and who has been teaching children reading and essay writing for 24 years, has learned that developing children’s speaking skills has a great impact on their learning, friendships, and self-confidence.
And the insights into elementary school argumentation that I have uncovered through numerous educational activities have been compiled into the recently published book, ‘The Child Who Speaks Clearly and to the Point.’
The basic principle of speaking habits that develop logical thinking skills!
How to Protect Yourself in a Talkative World
Includes 29 situational structural speaking examples and workbook
The author says that as the years go by, it becomes harder and harder to find children who speak logically.
Excessive media exposure and the development of communication platforms are actually taking away the opportunity to organize and speak properly.
For our children, who live in a world filled with words, the ability to grasp the essence and express their thoughts coherently is more important than anything else.
At the latest, by elementary school age, children should develop the ability to speak logically.
The way we speak is also a lifestyle habit that we practice.
The foundation of speaking laid at this time becomes a lifelong speaking habit that protects and highlights my thoughts.
In this book, the author argues that one can express one's thoughts, knowledge, and understanding clearly and confidently through 'structural speaking.'
The book contains 29 examples of structured speaking in various situations, such as 'Talking about travel experiences', 'Speaking confidently about myself', 'Speaking after reading a newspaper article', and 'Speaking in response to a rude friend'.
Additionally, the appendix, “Writing Notes for Speaking,” includes a workbook that allows children to practice speaking by writing directly.
If parents and children spend just five minutes a day talking and sharing their thoughts, and practicing structuring their speech, they will naturally be able to express their thoughts clearly and logically.
You can develop logical thinking skills by directly applying the principles of effective speaking habits.
From everyday conversations to public speaking!
Growing up as a smart and articulate child
The art of 'speaking elementary core ideas'
Because we live in an age where we must be able to express our thoughts effectively, we need to teach people to speak more actively.
This book contains various examples of elementary speaking, from everyday conversations to public speaking.
Rather than simply emphasizing speaking skills, we can also examine the attitudes children should have when encountering new information and unfamiliar situations, or when dealing with people who think differently from them.
As mentioned earlier, children who are good at speaking not only have excellent language skills, but are also more likely to have good social skills in school and in relationships with their peers.
Increasing your value through words can only be achieved through consistent thought organization and the right attitude.
For parents who want their children to grow up to be able to express themselves and protect their own thoughts, I highly recommend Oh Hyun-sun's new book, "The Child Who Speaks Straight to the Point."
