Nagging Survey

The revised edition of the best-selling children's book, "A Day Without Nagging," which captivated over 200,000 readers, has been published!

“What is the most annoying thing in the world?” Ask anyone anywhere in the world and you’ll get answers as diverse as the faces of children around the world.
When it comes to 'nagging', there is a lot to be said not only about its variety but also about its 'quantity'.
If you wrote down all the nagging from parents in the world, wouldn't the paper be long enough to circle the Earth twice?
For parents, too, ‘nagging’ is a source of worry.
When, where, how, and how much to nag a child is a big problem.
Many parents seek answers to this question by turning to parenting books and lectures on child psychology.
However, even if you are well-versed in the appropriate time and amount of nagging, it is not easy for parents to 'hold back' from nagging.
As parents, we can't help but always worry about our children.
No one can hastily come to a conclusion regarding the conflicting opinions between those who believe that true educational effects can only be achieved when children experience and realize their mistakes firsthand and those who believe that this is dangerous neglect.
Even if you think about the distant future, it's hard to ignore the situation unfolding before your eyes.
So, waiting for a child to change on his own requires superhuman patience, suppressing all anxiety and enduring it.

In that sense, the fairy tale “A Day Without Nagging” is also a story about this superhuman patience.
There is a family that seems very ordinary.
An ordinary child and ordinary parents, but the story they created over the course of about two days is very special.
The children's book "A Day Without Nagging," which has captured the hearts of over 200,000 domestic readers over the past decade, contains a story as captivating as its title.
The story of a family who spends just one day a year making it a "day without nagging" is short enough for young children to read, but has enough depth to be read by all elementary school students.
What keeps readers engaged throughout the book isn't just the actions of the reckless protagonist, Pusel, who wonders what he will do next.
Every time Pussell drops a bombshell, readers wait with a mixture of anticipation and worry for Pussell's parents' reaction.
"Really?" "Should I just let it slide this time too?" While I worry that I'll get in big trouble this time, I also hope that my parents will object and say, "This is absolutely not allowed."
Author Annemarie Norden skillfully weaves together this precarious emotional tug-of-war, successfully conveying the honest feelings of both children and parents without bias.

This book is not an educational book.
Never give advice or solutions on what to do about 'nagging'.
It is the world's most entertaining 'nagging fairy tale' that mixes a subject matter that could easily become stiff with fun and humor instead of a strong sense of theme.
But this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary fairy tale has the power to transform both parents and children, allowing them to see the everyday life of yesterday differently.
This is why Annemarie Norden's "A Day Without Nagging" has established itself as a consistent bestseller and steady seller, on par with another masterpiece of "nagging fairy tales," "The Two Magical Sugar Cubes" (Michael Ende).
This is also the reason why this book, thanks to the enthusiastic response from readers, has been reissued as a revised edition with new illustrations by Won Yu-mi after 10 years.


The advent of the 'Nagging-Free Day' that all children in the world dream of!
“Mom and Dad, you nag so much! I can’t stand it anymore!”

On a Sunday evening like any other, Pusel finally says out loud the words that every child in the world has said in his heart at least once, or perhaps a hundred times.
"I wish I could just have one day to do whatever I want! Without Mom and Dad interfering!" With this fervent wish, the young revolutionary finally finds himself rewarded with a whimsical "day without nagging."
And so, for just one day, Pusel welcomes a world where nagging has disappeared.
If there were a heaven in a world populated only by children, wouldn't this be what the morning scene would look like? On Monday morning, Pusel begins to fulfill his seemingly insignificant but usually difficult-to-achieve wishes, one by one.
It's like skipping washing your face and brushing your teeth and sitting down at the table to scoop up seven spoonfuls of plum jam, or picking out your favorite piece of buttered bread and eating it in large portions.
If it stops here, it's not the mischievous Pusel.
He skips school to buy an audio system, and then suddenly asks his mom to prepare a fancy table for a party.
Now that I can finally catch my breath, I'm going to go camping in the park this evening.
But all these dreamlike plans, perhaps unsurprisingly, do not go down a smooth road.
Pushel, who alternates between a refreshing sense of freedom and a sense of helpless anxiety, eventually gets caught up in a series of troubles, big and small.

The twist in this particular tale is that, despite this, Pusel's parents don't react with anything like, "Look at that, you disobeyed me," or "Don't rebel anymore."
Parents silently watch over their child as he or she continues to walk a tightrope.
The greatest meaning of this 'watching' is that it does not break the promise made to the child.
Don't treat your child rudely, saying he or she is still a child who doesn't know how to behave. Respect and understand that your child feels, thinks, and acts in his or her own way.
In this process, the child builds strong trust in his or her parents and grows into a healthy self-esteem who knows how to make sound decisions on his or her own.
That's why the fairy tale "A Day Without Nagging" is considered a great fairy tale for children and parents to read together.
It would be a good idea for children and parents to read it together and share their opinions.
Before reading this book, I hope you don't worry about things like, "What if my child asks me to create a day without nagging?"
"A Day Without Nagging" is neither a fairy tale that tells parents not to nag nor a fairy tale that admonishes children to listen to their parents.
It is also left to the readers to decide whether the effects of 'No Nagging Day' are positive or negative.
This delightful antics of a warm and ordinary family leave a lasting impression, providing both parents and children with plenty to think about along with laughter and fun.
