“Am I a good parent?”
The Power of Acceptance for Shaken and Anxious Parents

Parents these days are confused by the constantly changing parenting information and the opinions of those around them.
They want to raise their children well and put all their effort into becoming perfect parents, but they live with a feeling of anxiety and regret in their hearts, wondering, “Am I really a good parent?”
"Recognition Parenting" is a warm comfort and realistic guide for these parents.
Author Lee Hyeon-jeong, who has shared parenting advice through books, lectures, and blogs, has gained widespread sympathy from countless parents. The message she delivers in this new book is fresh and powerful.


“The opposite of negation is not affirmation, but acceptance.
Recognition makes the most ideal judgment possible.
“When you prioritize positivity, you become more affectionate and stronger, and you begin to see your child as he or she really is.” A recognition that allows you to look deeply into yourself as a parent, a recognition that allows you to see your child as he or she is.
This small shift in perspective can free parents from feelings of regret and anxiety, and make both parents and children more affectionate and stronger.


▶ A class to care for parents' emotions
Starting with the 'acknowledgment' that parents can also make mistakes, it suggests ways to healthily face and overcome negative emotions experienced while raising children.
It guides you to establish your parenting identity through mindfulness.
It also helps parents reflect on their own parenting methods and examine their own words and attitudes.


▶ Practice seeing your child as they are
Every child is different and always changing.
Don't compare or control your child, and help them see their strengths.
You can be reborn as a loving parent who understands and supports your child's world.
It also provides a balanced understanding of the basic principles and methods for building a foundation for a child's growth.

▶ A parenting philosophy applicable from infancy to adolescence
It accurately identifies the situations, problems, and emotions that parents and children experience at each stage and provides solutions to them.
You can parent firmly without being swayed by the 'carder' communication, social stereotypes, or negative emotions that are rampant around you.

▶ Includes a notebook of loving and strong words for parents
In difficult times, you can comfort yourself by writing down the words your parents need to say.
You can copy down the wisdom of words from leading figures in the fields of childcare and education, such as Maria Montessori, Jane Nelson, Daniel Siegel, and Fred Rogers, and put into practice the methods presented in the book.
