Description
Book Introduction
What 2 million parents in Korea have been waiting for
The one book that will change the paradigm of how you learn!

“A happy start builds lifelong study confidence!”
The first step toward independent study, as taught by Korea's leading child psychologist.


Author Son Jeong-seon, a child psychology expert who has appeared on numerous broadcasts including SBS's [My Child Has Changed], [Genius Discovery Team], and MBC's [Studying Is Money?] and received the love and trust of parents, has compiled her 'know-how to create children's study habits in the easiest and most effective way' into a single book.


This book analyzes a child's innate temperament and illuminates how it affects their learning attitude and grades.
It specifically identifies learning obstacles that appear depending on the temperament of the child, such as extroverted and introverted children, sensitive and insensitive children, stubborn and compliant children, and provides friendly guidance on how to create an environment in which the child can focus and how to help them get back up when they are frustrated.
Also, a child's intelligence is not judged simply by scores or ranks.
Accurately diagnoses a child's strengths and weaknesses through indicators such as language comprehension, spatial and temporal skills, working memory, and processing speed, and suggests a customized learning strategy accordingly.


In particular, at the center of this book are two things that are far more important than 'grades'.
These are ‘confidence’ and ‘positive experiences about studying.’
No matter how good the grades are, if a child perceives studying as a scary and painful task, the achievement will not last long.
On the other hand, if you accept studying as a fun challenge and develop self-efficacy that you can do it, grades will naturally follow.
This book helps parents gift these experiences to their children.

If you want to develop good study habits in your child, you should not drag them along, but create a path that they want to follow on their own.
This book provides a solid guidepost for finding that path.
Have you been scolding your child more frequently since they started studying? Are you struggling with your child's inattentiveness and lack of focus? Are you constantly arguing over homework? Are you frustrated by your child giving up at the slightest difficulty? If your child is becoming exhausted while studying, you're heading in the wrong direction and using the wrong methods.
Discover a practical, life-focused learning guide that respects your child's innate temperament and individuality, while fostering the joy of learning and building confidence!

Into the book
Just as we waited with joy and contentment while watching our child's development, we must also wait for our child to grow step by step in his or her studies.
Let's help our children fully enjoy each stage and share in the joy together.
When you guide your child like this, he or she can naturally move on to the next step.

---「Chapter 1 02.
From "Studying is easier than eating cold porridge"

When you begin to develop study habits, you should give your child assignments that are "easier" than they can handle, "shorter" than they can maintain, and "less" than they can handle.
There is no point in taking 30 minutes to do a task that a child can complete in 10 minutes.
A 20-minute argument exhausted the parents, and the child said to himself, 'I'm not good at studying.
Because it makes you think, ‘I really don’t want to do it.’
It's much more effective to do a task 10 times that you can comfortably complete in one minute.

---「Chapter 2 05.
From “Overcoming Learning Hurdles by Temperament”

There is one question that parents of teenagers ask most often when they come for counseling.

“How can I get my child to study on his own?”
When I am asked this question, I ask back:

“Do you know what your child’s dreams or goals are?”
“Do you know who your child’s favorite idol is?”
“What activity does your child enjoy the most?”
“Is there a place my child would want to go to other than a private academy?”
These questions make parents reflect on how deeply they know their children.

---「Chapter 3 01.
From “Creating the Will to Study”

While reading, underline the parts that match your thoughts and write the reasons in the blank space.
Conversely, it allows you to highlight areas where you have different thoughts and organize why you think differently.
Afterwards, based on what you wrote in the blank space, organize the points you agree with and the differences and develop the habit of thinking logically.

---「Chapter 4 02.
From “How to Study Weaknesses”

Parents should work together to help their children say things like, “I want to finish quickly and rest” or “I want to do this while I rest.”
It is necessary to spend time together experiencing various activities that children want to do during their free time, and to explore whether the process can be enjoyable and truly relaxing.

---「Chapter 5 02.
"A child who does everything he is told, won't he get tired?"

The desire to become something for any reason creates passion.
It's natural to like someone during this time, feel they're cool, and want to spend a lot of time with them.
Let's not dismiss this as a 'waste of time, a waste of energy, a useless activity'.
Let's acknowledge and respect our children's passions.

---「Chapter 6 02.
In the upper grades of elementary school, let's reduce interference and increase autonomy.

When parents give children the opportunity to do things on their own, they feel a sense of accomplishment.
The role of parents is to help children do everything on their own and build their confidence in the process.
Humans can experience true satisfaction and happiness when they become economically and emotionally independent from their parents and live independent lives.
---「Chapter 7 01.
From "Where does a child's true happiness come from?"

Publisher's Review
“Mother, there is such a thing as enjoyable study in this world!”
With over 20 years of field experience and long-term follow-up consultation data
A proven, complete study guide


It is a natural expectation of all parents to want their school-age children to achieve good academic results.
But the reality is not that simple.
Some children find new knowledge fascinating and naturally immerse themselves in their studies, while others find the exposure itself burdensome and try to avoid it.
Some children even feel stressed just hearing the word 'learning'.
This is not simply a matter of will or effort, but because each child has a different way of accepting learning, depending on their innate temperament, personality, intellectual strengths and weaknesses, and current psychological state.

The role of parents is not to change their children, but to find the right method for them and support them.
Only when we fully understand the child and try to find a learning approach that suits him or her will the child open his or her heart and become willing to study.
The power to sit down and study on one's own without being forced already exists within the child.


Based on author Jeongseon Son's 20+ years of field experience and 30,000 long-term follow-up consultation data, this book introduces practical and proven methods for transitioning from forced studying to "studying that students want to do on their own."
At the same time, it guides parents to grow into warm and wise caregivers without being hurt in their relationship with their children.

This book is not just a guide to study habits.
It teaches parents how to empathize with the difficulties their children face, big and small, during their learning process and how to overcome them together.
The moment you find the path that's right for your child, studying will no longer be a daunting struggle, but rather a "fun process" that your child can choose and continue on their own.


“Don’t try to change your child.
“Change your method!”
From creating an environment optimized for learning
Customized study methods and psychological coaching for each temperament, period, and case


The child said with a proud face, “Mom, look at this.
Think back to the moment when you ran to him and said, “Did you do well?” or said in a cute voice, “Dad, how can I help you?”
What kind of day was that? Perhaps it was a day when the child was in a good mood.
Wasn't it a day when you had fun at the playground or were full of confidence after receiving praise?
When a child feels satisfied and happy, he or she is more likely to do or say the things that the parent expects.
Even the most unpleasant thing in the world, studying, can be done voluntarily by a child if he or she feels satisfied and at peace in daily life.
The important thing here is that each child experiences satisfaction in different ways.


For example, a child with a high need for affection may need to spend enough time with his or her parents.
In particular, children who have a strong need for affection and are highly active feel satisfied only when they play happily with their parents.
Extroverted children find enjoyment in outdoor activities, while introverted children prefer exploratory activities.
There are differences even among introverted children.
Some children enjoy sharing stories and letting their imaginations run wild, while others find satisfaction in reading the books they want.
Because each child has different wants and different ways of feeling satisfied, we need to find play, relaxation, and study methods that suit the child's temperament and personality.


This book is filled with the author's unique perspectives and know-how, including how to strengthen a child's mentality, how to build confidence through temperament-based learning, how to create an immersive environment, how to supplement and overcome study weaknesses, and how the role of parents changes with each stage.
Particularly noteworthy are the customized study methods and psychological coaching methods ‘by temperament, period, and case.’
Parents can experience the same effect as receiving one-on-one consulting, as there are specific solutions that reflect the child's tendencies and current situation.
Ultimately, the most comfortable and effective way for a child to grow is not by general standards, but by 'the way that suits him or her.'

This book guides you through understanding your child and developing strategic study habits.
A single word or action from a parent can change a child's attitude toward learning.
It systematically guides you through how to view studying as something you 'do yourself' rather than something you 'have to do'.
This is a must-read for parents who support their children's autonomy and growth.
Now, let's change the game of studying with your child!
