Book Introduction
A word from MD
This is a miracle daycare! "Loving children" begins with respecting them as equal individuals.
The story of the 'Miracle Daycare Center' told by a 92-year-old daycare teacher who has cared for 2,800 children for 60 years.
Through Montessori education and Adlerian psychology, we introduce the power of respectful parenting that helps our children develop their unique potential.
- Kim Hyun-joo, MD of Home Living
“Loving children”
It starts with respecting the child as an equal human being!


The author says that the most important and precious value in the process of a child growing up is 'respect' for the child.
We believe that loving a child begins with respecting the child as an equal individual, and we make it clear that even the youngest children have the right to make their own choices and be respected.
Because we believe that children develop their inner strength and reach their potential through respect.
Children are individuals with the will to make their own choices, and the greatest driving force for growth is to realize their own inclinations and talents through various experiences from infancy and to cultivate autonomy and responsibility.
So, what does the author think of as a 'respectful attitude towards children'? Through various episodes such as 'eating as much as children want through self-feeding', 'not ordering children around', 'not forcing them to take naps', 'children make their own rules', and 'not forcing everyone to do the same thing', he specifically introduces the 'direction and effect of respect'.


In addition, the book helps parents quench their thirst for parenting by organizing realistic concerns that they have in a clear and clear Q&A format, and suggests the right direction for parenting through warm and solid advice that should be kept in mind while raising a child, such as “No matter how young a child is, they have their own specialness,” “Make the child immerse themselves until they are satisfied,” “The power of thought is needed to live freely,” “Children who grow slowly enjoy the present,” and “You can’t do anything without experiencing.”

The realization that there is nothing as 'scary' as education.
Parents must first develop their judgment.
ㆍMaking children immerse themselves until they are satisfied
ㆍChildren who grow slowly enjoy the present.

Adlerian Psychology: "Children thrive on respect."

ㆍAccept the positive aspects of your child's 'problem behavior'
ㆍRespect children with the mindset that 'children are equal to adults'
ㆍDo not evaluate by saying “good” or “well done”
If you say "wait," you must keep your promise.
ㆍEmpathizing with the child's feelings is a priority.
ㆍAll of a child's actions have a purpose.
ㆍDo not view it as something that adults take for granted.
ㆍAre you unconsciously saying, “You can’t do that”?
ㆍAcknowledge the sincerity of a child who has encountered an unreasonable reality.
ㆍChildren do not reveal their true feelings to adults they cannot trust.
It is also important to respond flexibly to your child's lies.

Into the book
Because every child can live happily in any world as long as they have the ‘power to live freely and the independent will to do so.’
Even if the world becomes something that even I, who am over 90 years old, and my parents cannot even imagine, if we have that kind of mindset, our children will be able to live in their own places, in their own way, with smiles on their faces.

--- p.21

This is the highest form of happiness, the very image of children.
Not everyone needs to be flashy and attract attention with large flowers.
Any shape, any color, you can bloom your own flower with your own power.
Wouldn't it be the greatest happiness if it could please someone who catches its eye, even if it's just a small, humble flower?

--- p.29

If you say, ‘Let’s not let them do this or that,’ the child will not have any experience.
You can't think about it unless you experience it.
And if you don't think, your child won't grow.
So I always think about 'what should I do?'
"What is that?" "What if I do it this way?" "I failed." "Let's do it this way next time." I want to foster that kind of curiosity and motivation in my child.

--- p.78

When a child behaves differently than expected and engages in problematic behavior, the first thing to do is to accept, "Oh, he's grown up enough to do this."
You need to accept this situation and treat your child with a positive attitude, thinking, "It's not something serious enough to kill him." "It's okay."

--- p.86

If you order, force, and get angry when the child doesn't listen, it's just coercion from the child's perspective.
The child may think, 'What? Adults can do whatever they want.'
It is better not to do to a child anything that makes you think, 'What? He is doing whatever he wants regardless of my wishes.'
Because children feel the same way.
Children are not imperfect beings compared to adults, but rather are equal beings who feel and think just like adults.

--- p.91

The world a child will live in is not always beautiful.
There are many unreasonable and unfair things.
The child will also be hurt in the process.
But if you have someone who believes in you and understands you, if you have someone who is always there for you no matter what difficulties you face, you can find strength.

--- p.115

If a child has a favorite book, it means that his or her mind has grown.
It is not only a picture book, but also evidence that people choose it of their own free will, saying, "This is good."
Your own 'taste' has become clear.

--- p.199

I speak confidently.
Listen to what you truly want and enjoy the moment.
There have been many moments in my life, but I think the reason I am positive about the present is because I did 'what I wanted'.
--- p.216

Publisher's Review
Caring for 2,800 children over 60 years
Contains the wisdom of a 92-year-old active childcare teacher
Deep and warm parenting wisdom!

Montessori education meets Adlerian psychology
Children who create miracles every day!


Let children be the most beautiful flowers!
How was the Miracle Daycare Center born?


The author, who is still working as a childcare teacher at the age of 92, shares the insights she gained from caring for 2,800 children over 60 years.
Through the profound wisdom gleaned from 100 years of life, we reflect on the relationship between ourselves and our children and develop a sincere attitude toward how to love our children.

The Omata Children's Life Center, where the author works, has a 3,000-pyeong site where children can enjoy nature observation and forest bathing, and is a traditional daycare center that has been in operation for over 70 years.
What makes this daycare stand out from the crowd is its focus on maximizing children's potential, based on Montessori education and Adlerian psychology as its core philosophies.
Rather than a uniform childcare and education policy aimed at producing “successful and accomplished people,” we practice open education and autonomous care that focuses on the child’s needs and communication desires, allowing them to fully express their unique individuality.
As a result, the children's remarkable growth has been proven for decades, and it is called the 'Miracle Daycare Center' due to the high satisfaction of parents, teachers, and children.

The book guides you on the path to 'comfortable and stable parenting' through five topics based on the author's experiences and realizations: 'The importance of the power to live freely,' 'How to raise a child with respect,' 'Stages of child mental development,' 'Q&A on parenting counseling with moms and dads,' and 'Stories I really want to tell parents.'
