“Puberty is natural to be confused and anxious.”
3 years of waiting for treatment, the child parents want to see the most
Seoul National University Hospital Professor Kim Boong-nyeon's Prescription for Adolescent Mental Health

These days, children work hard at everything from school classes to academy homework, performance assessments, and exams. However, for some reason, the harder they work, the more anxious they become.
I'm always driven by the desire to do well, and I blame myself for my shortcomings.
For parents in Korea who want to comfort the wounded hearts of our children, Professor Kim Boong-nyeon, a leading parenting education mentor in Korea and a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry at Seoul National University Hospital, has published a new book, “A Child Becomes an Adult After Being Shaken a Thousand Times.”

According to a recent study by Professor Kim Boong-nyeon, who is also the head of the Central Support Team at the Developmental Disability Hospital, searches for ADHD among teenagers have been increasing over the past few years.
Professor Kim Boong-nyeon points out that the bigger problem is not just suspecting that you have attention deficit and conduct disorder, but also wanting to get treatment.
In fact, there is an increasing number of posts on mom cafes and parenting communities expressing concerns about ADHD along with behavioral and learning problems in teenage children. Furthermore, there is an increasing number of cases of misuse of ADHD medications disguised as “concentration pills.”
What makes ADHD such a concern?

Professor Kim Boong-nyeon finds the root cause of this problem in the triple pain experienced by teenagers.
Temporary decline in the function of the frontal lobe during brain development during puberty and difficulty in emotional regulation due to hormonal changes affect children's ability to concentrate and excessive self-regulation, which increases their mental suffering.
Furthermore, in a reality where even in the upper grades of elementary school, the idea that one must 'focus on studying' dominates the mind and 'newbies' are looked upon as role models, the suffering of children who are experiencing the inevitable confusion and anxiety of adolescence is doubled.

'Why did my child change like this?'
'How can I better help my child?'

The author emphasizes to parents who are confused by their adolescent children's sensitivity, anxiety, anger, self-reproach, and rebellion.
To alleviate this anxiety that plagues both children and parents, it is necessary to understand the changes that occur during puberty and develop the strength to endure those changes.
This book is based on the author's clinical experience with adolescent children in his clinic for over 30 years, and gathers together topics that parents are most curious about, such as emotions, learning, interpersonal relationships, and career paths, to organize the problems and concerns they face during this period.
In addition, it contains useful methods to help children care for their adolescent mental health and guide their growth at home through self-diagnosis and various tips related to social skills, learning methods, and mindfulness.

It takes about 3 years and 1000 days for a child to become an adult.
Leading an anxious brain and anxious mind to critical growth
Essential inner and relationship training for adolescence

Typically, girls' puberty occurs from the 4th or 5th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of middle school, and boys' puberty occurs from the 5th or 6th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of middle school.
Although it varies from person to person, it takes roughly three years, or a thousand days, for a child to sway toward becoming an adult.
The most crucial change during this period is the change in the frontal lobe, which is responsible for the overall functions that 'make humans human', such as understanding, emotions, problem-solving skills, and conflict and attention control.
Professor Kim Boong-nyeon explains that because the frontal lobe of adolescents grows explosively day by day, its function is bound to temporarily decline.

As the frontal lobe, which is responsible for a large part of the brain and mind, becomes vulnerable, emotions naturally go up and down easily like riding a roller coaster, and as moods fluctuate, it is not easy to maintain good relationships with friends and parents.
They also become vulnerable to various addictions, such as game addiction and social media addiction, and have difficulty learning how to take care of their daily lives.
Ultimately, children in puberty experience growing pains in all areas, including the 'brain', 'heart', and 'relationships'.
Just as the ground becomes harder after rain, our children can only grow into stronger adults after overcoming these growing pains.
This book is designed to help children heal from these growing pains and develop their growth muscles.

The author emphasizes that in order to develop the muscles of adolescent growth, it is most important for children to break away from the world's established framework, like 'God-saeng', and find their own happiness.
The happiness the author emphasizes grows from a strong inner self and solid relationships that allow one to accept negative emotions and not be discouraged by failure.
From mindfulness to alleviate stress and anxiety to create that happiness, to practical methods for training your inner self and relationships to adapt to the changes in your brain and mind, this book offers an integrated solution to successfully navigate adolescence.

“The miracle that will ultimately happen is within you!”
Warm comfort and advice that gently embraces the anxieties of adolescence.

Most of the difficulties parents face when raising their adolescent children stem from a lack of understanding of this period of adolescence.
Children at this age are more likely to rebel against their parents' affectionate care, such as children who are sensitive to small things and get angry easily, and children who do not express themselves well even when they clearly seem to be having a hard time.
However, Professor Kim Boong-nyeon says that it cannot be overemphasized that the role of parents is even more important in such cases.

In fact, most of the problems that arise during adolescence can be easily solved if we properly address the emotional difficulties children experience during this period.
However, if we treat children with a coercive attitude without properly understanding the anxiety and pressure of this period, they may end up suffering from even more severe self-reproach.
A thousand days may seem like a very short time compared to the rest of their lives, but if we fill this crucial period of transition from childhood to adulthood with only self-reproach and hurt, our children will never grow into solid adults who can find their own happiness.


Therefore, rather than judging and suppressing children by the world's standards, it is essential for parents to help their children embrace and love the changes in their inner lives and daily lives, and to guide them in the direction they desire.
I hope that all parents of adolescent children in Korea will understand adolescence objectively and correctly through this book, thereby becoming closer to their children's hearts and becoming a strong foundation on which they can rely.
