I'm traveling with my child because I want to raise him well.
Description
Book Introduction
In the future, children will live under the impact of the climate crisis, the greatest challenge facing humanity today, and will have new jobs that we cannot even imagine today.
So, what kind of education do children need now? How can both parents and children grow up happily together?
In fact, the parent generation, who has lived for decades, already knows from experience that social success and happiness are not determined by grades.
Even the stable paths that were somewhat predictable in the past are disappearing one by one.
In a competitive reality where children's college entrance exam results are considered a report card for their parents, a shift in thinking about children's education is necessary.
This book is a customized solution and a record of family growth, created by incorporating learning into the travel field based on the author's expertise as a travel expert.
In South Korea, a republic of private education, most subjects can be 'outsourced,' but travel is an area that cannot be outsourced.
Group trips and travel agency package products offered as experiential learning or school trips in public education programs often fail to provide experiences that match the interests and level of my child.
This is why ‘travel education’ is necessary at home.
The author provides detailed information on the implementation process of travel education that combines indirect experience (reading) and direct experience (travel), as well as environmental education methods.
This is a way to enjoy travel according to each person's level of interest and perspective based on background knowledge accumulated through books.
Everywhere you step becomes an outdoor academy.
The book contains new travel methods, including cases of discovering and expanding children's interests through travel and applying them to developmental therapy, cases of increasing learning motivation by linking with elementary school social science curriculum, and travel stories of learning advanced awareness about a sustainable Earth.
In the era of climate crisis, it will be an essential guide for elite education.

Into the book
The story I'm about to tell is about my family's growth.
In fact, this journey began quite unexpectedly.
One day, I discovered my child's 'slowness'.
In early 2021, I returned to Korea after three years of overseas assignment.
While I was abroad, my husband took full responsibility for the children, so it was my turn to look after them.
I was worried about whether I would be able to return to work after my leave of absence, which was originally planned to be for one year, was extended to two years and six months due to my child's treatment schedule. Fortunately, it has already been a year and a half since I returned to work.
Because a ‘miracle’ happened to our family during that time.
---From "Private Education Called 'Travel'"
In our house, we start preparing for a trip with a bookshelf.
Since my children entered elementary school, I have purchased separate textbooks for each major subject at the beginning of each semester.
Let's take a look at what we're learning in school these days and take a look at some of the books that kids have been reading with interest recently.
It's a kind of process of getting inspiration before a trip.
When your child is ready to learn about different villages at school, plan a trip to a nearby rural or mountain village.
While traveling, I briefly go over vocabulary and concepts related to what I learned in school.
The child naturally previews the lesson content through the trip before opening the textbook.
---From "Travel is the best private education"
Although children sometimes become obsessed with a particular interest, my son's immersion in birds at the time was quite unusual.
The child showed interest in anything that had even the slightest connection to birds.
I was at a level where I could only read Korean without final consonants, but as I encountered new, complex names, I learned double vowels and double final consonants.
Although he read many books and watched many videos, including documentaries, his favorite thing was seeing the birds in person.
It was the beginning of exploration activities.
---From "The Power of Content: Child-Led Travel with Books"
The 'performance' a child shows during the parenting process is a source of pride for the parents.
In that sense, I received a failing grade and had to start parenting again from scratch.
In particular, the child's developmental test results felt like a numerical report card, which made it even more difficult.
However, as I watched my children grow up happily through hiking and traveling, I gained confidence in my role as a parent.
---From "The Power of Content: Child-Led Travel with Books"
The book about clothes, Anna's Red Coat, contains a story about a farmer who raises sheep, an old woman who spins a spinning wheel, a woman who makes cloth, and a tailor who visits a shop to get new clothes. This is also a story that is far removed from the current situation.
The proliferation of fast fashion has made it possible for us to buy a T-shirt for less than a cup of coffee, and we throw away what we acquire so easily.
As a result, as of 2021, the amount of clothing waste generated domestically reached 110,000 tons per year.
---From "Finding the Path to Sustainable Travel"
A look at Freiburg's journey to becoming an environmental capital reveals the power of citizens' activism.
Haus037, mentioned earlier, was originally planned to be used as a residential building by the city, but citizens requested that it be developed into a space for the local public good, and more than a third of the remodeling costs were raised through self-funding.
It seems that nothing can be gained without action.
---From "Finding the Path to Sustainable Travel"
After shopping, I took a commemorative photo with my children in front of a zero-waste store, and my eyes were drawn to the words written on the front window.
“The climate is changing, why aren't we?” Every morning, my family watches a short news video together and discusses it.
As I've been scraping news articles over the past few years, I've been struck by the fact that climate-related disasters, such as wildfires, floods, and droughts, continue to occur every day around the globe.
The climate is constantly changing, so why do we remain the same? Protecting the environment may not be such a grand task.
Like packing a shopping basket and lunch box before going out.
---From "Finding the Path to Sustainable Travel"
In this way, the descendants of Germans, who once led some of the most brutal genocides and racial discrimination in history, are now at the forefront of human rights and refugee issues.
This is not unrelated to Germany's liquidation of its past and thorough historical education.
In that sense, wouldn't the key to solving the climate crisis also be found in environmental education for future generations?

Publisher's Review
The parenting secrets of "Turtle Mom vs. Rabbit Mom," a popular Naver Mom Cafe with 320,000 members
A practical educational method that applies the growth keyword of "developmental journey."
From educational travel programs to travel strategies tailored to the climate crisis.
A roadmap for 'travel education' that helps parents and children grow together.
Just a few years ago, I was a working mom who booked dolphin tours without much thought, traveled abroad three or four times a year, and found great joy in online shopping.
Now, whenever I have time, I participate in ecological conservation activities with my children, shouting slogans, participating in climate justice marches, and even performing by lying down on the asphalt.
What on earth happened?
When I was at the peak of my career, my second child was diagnosed with developmental delay.
The author, who had to give up her job to care for her child, began to search for sustainable parenting methods while worrying about her child's growth.
By reading books on various fields such as education, cognitive psychology, and parenting, I was exposed to new brain science theories that proved that humans have limitless potential, and I realized that everyday achievements are more important than IQ.
Accordingly, I decided to become a parent who focuses on helping my child find things he or she enjoys and encourages him or her to achieve great things in that field, focusing on helping my child achieve more things on his or her own as a growth goal.
As part of this, we created a customized roadmap that incorporated learning into the 'travel' area that the child excels in and applied it to the child's development.
To bring out a child's potential for growth, you need to identify their interests and create an environment where they can immerse themselves in those areas.
The author, while exploring various creatures to find things that interest his child, naturally opened his eyes to the climate crisis and environmental issues.
Then, when I came across a situation that I absolutely could not ignore, I picked up a pair of tongs and started picking up trash on the beach.
What started as a personal endeavor has now become a social activity.
The book weaves together the story of a parent's growth, focusing on the development of their second child.
This is a story about how the activities that began with the desire to become a good parent turned into people who think and work hard to make the world a better place. You can fully feel the emotion of seeing the world through new eyes through the process of practicing sustainable parenting methods.
From a slow child to a child who learns happily
Vivid Storytelling Report
Speaking of essential education for future elites
This book clearly addresses the theme of 'travel as education'.
As a travel expert and parent, I introduce ways to travel with your children so they can grow happily together.
It is a modern reinterpretation of the 'Grand Tour', the final stage of elite education in Europe in the past, called 'travel education'.
If private education focused on academic subjects is a so-called "blind investment," then travel is an investment with certain results and rewards.
The effects of private education are difficult to measure, but the results of travel remain in the form of tangible 'family memories.'
The learning benefits that can be gained from traveling are truly endless.
Based on his own experience, the author researches how travel can become a true "education," and concludes that more structured travel is necessary for effective learning to occur.
To maximize the learning effect of travel, a series of processes must be followed: building background knowledge through books (preview), enjoying the trip based on this knowledge (current), and reconstructing the experience through activities such as recording the trip in writing and pictures (review).
After three years of this journey, a remarkable change occurred in the child.
When I first started developmental therapy, the child who was at the very back of the 1,000 people on the normal distribution of IQ moved up to the 31st row.
The child has now "graduated" from special education, with the attending physician saying that he will no longer need to come to the clinic unless there are special issues.
Now in the third grade of elementary school, my child plays soccer with his friends during recess every day, makes plans to go out and play on the weekends, and receives positive feedback every time he is in class.
A child who was diagnosed with developmental delays in all areas including language, cognition, and social skills speaks and writes well, and was elected vice president of the class by his friends.
The author advises that future generations should experience the real world through travel.
If a child who used to crawl can now walk and run, then an ordinary child might be able to fly.
Children who leave the academy and experience the rich nature and diverse culture will truly become the elite of the future.
