“Do you still look at your child’s report card and blame it on ‘lack of will’?
Now let your brain study.”
Professor Lee Min-joo of Korea University covers everything from counseling psychology to brain imaging analysis and gifted education.
Insights from a 20-year journey of integration!

Many parents feel frustrated when they look at their children's report cards.
I clearly memorized it, but I keep forgetting it, I only make plans but can't put them into practice, and I can't concentrate well.
Then, we often diagnose the cause of the problem as 'the child's lack of will and perseverance' or 'the child's personality', but this will never lead to a real solution.
In fact, studying is done by the brain.
According to Professor Lee Min-joo of Korea University, who published “Awaken the Learning Code Sleeping in Your Brain,” studying is a sophisticated design task that involves understanding and utilizing the brain’s operating principles.
Ten thousand children have ten thousand unique learning codes, and only when learning is designed in a way that suits each individual's brain can real learning begin.
In this book, the author demonstrates, through real-life examples and scientific evidence, how parents' understanding of brain science can significantly impact their children's academic performance. The author is Korea's only counseling psychologist who can "read the brain."
He received a master's degree in brain science from Seoul National University, a master's degree in counseling psychology, and a doctorate in education from Korea University. He also served as a brain imaging researcher at Samsung Medical Center and a senior researcher at Korea University's Gifted Education Center.
In short, he is an expert with a unique career spanning neuroscience, counseling psychology, and education.
In particular, the author has worked as a senior researcher at the Korea University Gifted Education Center for nearly 10 years, conducting and analyzing approximately 1,300 neuropsychological tests on students from KAIST, Seoul National University, Korea University, and the Korea Science Academy.
Using scientific diagnostic tools such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, the Kaufman Intelligence Scale for Children, the Raven Intelligence Scale, and fMRI brain function tests, the author precisely identified the child's brain characteristics and provided customized learning coaching based on these findings. After 20 years of this comprehensive journey, the author has published his first popular book, "Awaken the Learning Code Sleeping in Your Brain."
This book is not just a theory, but a condensation of practical wisdom proven in actual counseling settings.

“How did that ordinary kid become a genius at studying?”
Discovered through over 1,300 research and analysis data and numerous consultations and coaching sessions
The key to a reversal is the 'learning code' based on our child's brain characteristics!

The highlight of "Awaken the Learning Code Sleeping in Your Brain" is the 'brain science study method' that is sure to work.
Parents who have been wondering, “Why can’t my child do it?” will be amazed after learning about this study method and say, “Ah, so that’s how it works!”
The structure and content of this book are clear.
It consists of three chapters and an appendix, of which Chapters 1 and 2 each deal with the principles and methods of studying brain science.

Workbook and Practice Checklist: A Practical Toolkit for Diagnosing Your Child at Home

Chapter 1, “The Secret of Learning Code Revealed by Brain Science,” introduces the “learning code,” the principle of brain science study methods.
Learning code is the unique learning style of each child's brain, and learning is best when designed to suit that brain's preferences.
Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of the brain, and the author provides an interesting explanation of eight characteristics of the brain, including memory, self-regulation, emotion, concentration, plasticity, learning design, habits, and execution ability.
This will help parents understand why their child is having trouble studying.
You will learn that the reason you keep forgetting things even though you clearly memorized them is not because you studied less, but because you lack the connection between emotions and context. You will also learn that the reason you can't make plans and execute them is not because you lack willpower, but because your frontal lobe is not yet mature. You will also learn that the reason you can play games for hours but can't study for even 10 minutes is because emotions are the brain's number one priority.
This way, parents no longer have to nag their children.
Instead, you can become a wise helper who understands and waits for the characteristics of the child's brain.
The moment parents change their question from “Why isn’t this working?” to “How can I help?” a new path opens up for their children’s education.
Chapter 2, “A New Study Guide with Brain Science,” provides answers to the question parents are most curious about: “How?”
The author explains how to study according to the child's learning code and achieve better results based on the characteristics of the brain.
In addition, it provides knowledge and meaningful stories that help parents view their children from the perspective of brain development rather than report cards.
We learn that the basic conditions of sleep, exercise, and food determine the brain's condition, and that no matter how special a study method you use and how long you study, if these basic conditions are broken, the brain will not study.
You'll also learn how to see your child's effort and sincerity beyond the report card, and how pre-learning can actually take away the joy and curiosity of learning.
By prioritizing 'raising a healthy brain', you can shake off anxiety and impatience, and become a parent who believes in your child's growth and walks alongside them.


A brain science study method that 'reduces parental anxiety and enhances children's abilities'!
Real-life cases selected from the counseling archives of learning psychology experts who read the brain.
Professor Lee Min-joo created four checklists for things to do at home!
"Now, awaken your child's dormant 'true study skills'."

Chapter 3, which follows the principles and methods of the brain science study method, contains actual cases of applying the brain science study method.
And the appendix contains a workbook and checklist created by the author.
Chapter 3, "Counseling Archives of a Brain-Reading Counseling Psychologist," covers typical concerns such as game addiction, stress over getting a perfect score, test anxiety, lack of motivation to study, the middle school slump, low grades compared to the effort put in, and excessively slow learning speed.
As if observing the author's consultation, you can take a detailed look at the process of precisely identifying the child's brain characteristics through scientific diagnosis such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale and then applying a customized growth change method.
After solving problems in a way that is just right for the child, the more advanced real-life cases provide concrete guidance to families who are struggling to find a way out of their child's problems.
Finally, the appendix provides two workbooks and four checklists created by the author.
This is a practical tool that parents and children can use to diagnose, practice, and record growth together, such as a brain-based learning type diagnosis checklist and a daily routine checklist.
This book will not be something you just read, but a practical workbook you can open and use every day.
Professor Kim Kyung-il, a cognitive psychologist, gave high praise to “Awaken the Learning Code Sleeping in Your Brain,” which is equipped with everything from knowledge and information to a practical workbook, saying, “An expert who has been in this field for over 20 years has now presented us with a truly useful guidebook,” and “As a cognitive psychologist, it is full of content that makes me nod and express my great admiration.”
Are you ready to awaken the true learning potential dormant within your child's brain? For parents everywhere, this book offers both scientific solutions and hope for the frustrating challenges of parenting.
"Awaken the Learning Code Sleeping in Your Brain" will go beyond simply being a "book to read"; it will become a "book to practice" and a "book that creates change" at home.
