"I dare call it the bible of elementary education."
- From reader reviews

As soon as a child enters elementary school, parents begin to worry about their child's studies.
What if they fall behind compared to children who have already done advanced learning? What if I force them to study from an early age and they lose interest in studying forever? We are often caught up in endless anxiety and end up nagging our children, only to regret it later.
For these parents, teacher Eun-kyung Lee, a mentor to 300,000 elementary school parents, presents a new book.

The author, an elementary school teacher with 15 years of experience and a mother of two high school-aged sons, says the most important thing during elementary school is to develop daily study habits.
That way, you can take charge of the enormous amount of studying you will face when you go to middle or high school.

The book covers not only how to create daily study habits for each subject, but also answers many parental questions like, "Do elementary school students need to study too?", "How many hours a day should they study?", and "How much private tutoring should I give to each subject?", as well as detailed information that only a veteran teacher can provide, such as planning weekends to relax and study at the same time and how to use vacations to efficiently prepare and review.
In particular, a separate chapter is dedicated to smart solutions for how to use smart devices, which is the biggest concern for parents these days, and it examines elementary school parents' study concerns in detail from various aspects.


The more you want to raise your children well, the more anxious, impatient, and unstable you become.
If you're an elementary school parent struggling to find a trustworthy mentor amidst the information overload, this book will be the perfect guide.


* The 'Lee Eun-kyung Elementary Master Class' series is a series of parenting books that collects only the core of teacher Lee Eun-kyung's study methods, accumulated through meeting with 300,000 elementary school parents.

Into the book
Far more important and decisive than an innate talent for studying is the power of habit that builds up little by little every day.
What you do every day becomes part of your daily routine, and eventually it becomes effortless.
Carefully cultivated study habits will help your child feel that the long journey of college entrance is not something they are forced to do, but rather something that they can achieve if they keep going.

--- p.20

The ultimate goal of daily study is ‘self-directed learning.’
Although it may take a lot of effort on the part of parents at first, the study habits that are developed through hard work are clearly beneficial to the child, and they also return as a great gift to the parents who walk with them through the process.
By sitting face-to-face with their children every day, studying, and having conversations, parents come to understand their children more deeply, and thanks to their children, they too grow.
It starts with a very small and simple habit, but it builds a strong foundation through the trust and patience of parents.
Self-directed learning is about practicing leading your own life rather than just going ahead at a set pace.
--- p.44

If you're adding a schedule that will help your child's grades during the elementary years, the real priority should be securing reading time.
It's not too late to add homework and workbooks after you've done the reading.
The logical, thinking, and literacy skills that reading provides are the source of entrance exam stamina that cannot be acquired through private education.
In the college entrance exam, the child who perseveres on his own ultimately wins, and the root that supports that child's inner self is reading.
--- p.73

It is far more important for children to practice writing responsibly on their own time than to simply increase study time.
Self-directed learning can't be achieved overnight.
From this moment on, we must accumulate small attempts to create our own schedule and put it into practice.
The key to a study plan isn't a simple schedule, but developing the ability to manage time.

--- p.165

Smart devices can be dangerous and unsettling, but they have already become deeply ingrained in our children's daily lives and learning.
Now we can't just ignore it and pretend it never happened.
Well then, there is only one way.
It's about finding ways to use it wisely.
By first recognizing the benefits of smart devices and opening up ways to connect them to learning, children will develop the power to master their tools rather than be manipulated by them.
--- p.254

No matter how well you utilize smart devices, there are some principles parents must remember.
The point is that you should never miss out on paper learning.
Tablets are fast, fun, and great for engaging children, but they don't provide deep learning on their own.
--- p.258
The best way for parents to foster integrity in their children isn't through grand gestures.
First, teach them the joy of consistency by letting them experience small successes, like, “Let’s just do this for 10 minutes today.”
Above all, it is important to praise the process.
Just saying, “It’s amazing that you sat down every day and got through it,” will make your child stronger.

--- p.291

Giving children choices is the starting point for self-directed learning.
However, if you just give your child freedom by saying, “Do whatever you want,” the child may become confused.
Healthy choices require boundaries and limits.
Practice making choices within a set timeframe and minimal study standards - this is how you develop true autonomy.

--- p.309

Praise the process excessively, but don't pay much attention to the results.
This way, children learn the value of effort and gain the power to take charge of their own lives, regardless of grades.
Remember, the real reward isn't a gift, it's the satisfaction of knowing you did it and the sincere recognition of your parents.
--- p.313

A child's growth is not a matter of being fast or slow, but rather a curve that flows according to each individual's rhythm.
What parents need to do is not to force the curve, but to respect the child's pace and wait.
Only when we let go of our impatience and acknowledge the leeway of the curve can our children grow on their own.
--- p.371

Publisher's Review
“In elementary school, if you just develop one habit of studying every day, you will succeed!”

Mentor to 300,000 elementary school parents,
Elementary study habits taught by teacher Lee Eun-kyung!
Mom Cafe's overwhelming #1 must-read for elementary school students!


What's the crucial difference between a child whose grades started out strong in elementary school but continue to decline as they progress through middle and high school, and a child whose grades steadily improve as they advance? It's the habit of studying, even if just a little, every day.
The author, Eun-kyung Lee, who realized this fact while teaching for 15 years and raising two high school-aged sons, emphasizes:
They say that in elementary school, it is more important to develop the habit of studying every day than to have a perfect test paper.
By establishing proper study habits at this time, children will grow into self-directed learners during middle and high school, when the amount of learning increases explosively.

This is not just the author's opinion.
This has been proven by countless elementary school parents who have studied with their children using the author's method.
Thanks to this, the author has solidified his position as the most recommended elementary mentor on Mom Cafe.

It contains the know-how gained from 15 years of teaching experience and the secrets to raising two sons as gifted children.

The author's method is not grandiose, but it is clear.
Ask your child first, "How should we study today?"
Instead, the choices should be specific.
"Is one math book better? Or is one English book better?" It's a simple question, but through the process of thinking and choosing, children learn to plan and coordinate their own learning.
The confidence and sense of accomplishment you gain from feeling your choices are respected will lead to daily study habits.

The answer that parents are looking for lies within our children.
In elementary school, direction is more important than speed.
Observing your child's unique temperament and inclinations, and building daily habits through sufficient communication with your child, will become the milestones that will guide them in the right direction.
