“What kind of words are building up in the child’s heart?”
For moms who don't know what to say
365 Milestones from Bestselling Author of Childcare, Director Lee Im-sook

It is no exaggeration to say that a child's world is all about his or her mother.
Even a single, small word from a mother accumulates in a child's heart and is imprinted in his or her memory, having a profound impact on the child's past, present, and future.
A mother's loving words can create a healthy mind in a child.
But, since it is my first time being a mother, it is not easy for me to only say nice things.
When faced with an unexpected parenting situation while physically and mentally exhausted, we often resort to verbally abusing our children, even though we know we will regret it later.
However, if you want your child to grow up bright and confident, you must start practicing speaking to them wisely, with love and wisdom, from now on.
Even if the words have the same meaning, if the way they are expressed changes, the child can grow a little more.

This book is the first diary of Director Im-Sook Lee, author of the bestselling child education books, “Mom’s Word Study” and “There is no more important period than 4 to 7 years of age,” chosen by 300,000 parents, and a child and adolescent psychotherapist and parent education expert who has worked for over 20 years.
It contains 365 prescriptions for mothers who want to give their children only love, but are troubled by the fact that hateful words spill out without them knowing.
This is a must-read book on childcare that introduces various vivid parenting situations that can be experienced with children at various times and places throughout the year, and covers in detail how to speak to children in such situations, and why and how to speak in such a way.

Having counseled countless parents and children, and having lived as a mother of two for over 30 years, the author has come to deeply understand the impact a mother's words have on her children and the importance of conveying sincerity through words.
And in 『Mom's Word Study』, she introduced '5 Mom's Professional Terms' that can change a child's behavior, which received sympathy and support from numerous parents.
This book was created by adding '3 special terms for moms' to the '5 professional terms for moms'.


“Once a day, tell your child how you truly feel with kind words.”
'5 Mom's Professional Terms' that will change your child's behavior
A calendar with "3 special terms from a mother" that will fill a child's heart

The five professional terms of a mother are 'words of empathy', 'words of healing', 'words of positivity', 'words of strength', and 'words of thought'. These are words that help children develop their potential and strengths in daily life, heal and recover from psychological stress and wounds big and small, and further develop wise problem-solving skills.
If you know each keyword well, you can resolve any difficult situation without getting angry and by saying the right words to your child.


[5 Mom's Professional Terms]
- Words of empathy “There must be a reason.”
- Healing words “It must have been hard.”
- Positive words “You had good intentions.”
- Words of strength: “That’s great.”
- The thought “What should I do?”

Knowing not only five technical terms but also which keywords to use in which situations will allow you to utilize technical terms appropriately and without panic in various parenting situations.
Let's learn how technical terms are used through about 50 situations presented for each keyword and practice saying them out loud.
In this way, it will become easier to convey your affectionate sincerity to your child even in unexpected situations.


[Mom's 3 Special Terms]
- Words of gratitude “Thank you again today.”
- Words of love “I love OO.”
- Words for Mom “I’m doing well enough.”

Words of gratitude and love help build a child's self-esteem, create emotional stability, and plant warmth in the child's heart that allows them to live happily with those around them.
Moreover, the words for mothers are the highlight of this book, as they offer true comfort and strength to mothers who feel guilt, frustration, helplessness, and anxiety about their children, wondering whether they are doing a good job as mothers at any given moment, or whether they are ruining their children through mistakes.
Only when the mother's heart is happy and healthy can the child grow up that way.
That's why it's so important for mothers to take care of themselves.

It was produced in the form of a desk calendar that can be read by turning one page a day so that even mothers who do not have enough time to sit down and read can easily and conveniently look at it at any time.
It is an easy read for busy mothers as you only need to read one page per day.
With just this one book, you can feel like you're reading a new parenting book every day of the year, and in one year, you can enjoy the same effect as reading 365 parenting books.
If you want to fill your child's heart with affectionate words, put this calendar in a place where they spend the most time during the day and practice turning a page each day and saying it out loud.
If you follow along day by day, you will be able to figure out how to talk to your child without looking at the calendar, and you will be able to become a 'good enough mother' who grows together with your child.
