It would be great if children liked to study and did well in their studies as their parents wished.
However, it is not necessary for a child to be closely involved in studies during elementary school.
Not studying hard during this period won't cause any major problems in middle and high school.
However, there are cases where this can be problematic.
This is when an elementary school child becomes distant from studying and develops an aversion to studying.
This is because there is a limit to how hard a child who hated studying in elementary school can suddenly study in middle or high school.
So, during elementary school, it is important to keep children from becoming too close to studying, even if they are not too far away from it.

The second characteristic is that he studies consistently without any ups and downs.
Doing well on a test once is possible with just a little effort, but consistently getting good grades and showing a good attitude is not easy.
Students who study well and succeed in getting into their desired colleges have this kind of 'consistency.'
Rather than studying a lot some days and not studying at all some days, study consistently and repeatedly every day according to the time you have set for yourself.
To cultivate consistency, it is a good idea to make it a habit to write a study planner.
It is helpful to start writing a planner from elementary school, plan out what you need to study each day, and practice consistently putting it into practice.

So how can we foster an interest in science in elementary school? I recommend a combination of three: experiments, science magazines, and science comics.
I do not recommend reading thick science books in elementary school without going through these three processes.
Because it is important to approach science lightly and be interested in it rather than taking it too seriously.

---From "For studying science, I recommend the combination of 'experiment + science magazine + science comic book'"

One of the common characteristics of students who do well in school during middle and high school is 'sincerity'.
Rather than studying hard some days and not studying other days, I have the consistency and sincerity to complete the amount of work I have to do each day.
If you develop this kind of sincerity as a habit in elementary school, it will be of great help not only in your studies in middle and high school, but also in your daily life.
To this end, I recommend that parents spend 10 minutes each night with their elementary school-age children practicing writing in a planner.

---From "Practice writing a planner for 10 minutes every night"

The second is the fact that 'there are things that can only be done in elementary school.'
The fact that college entrance exams are the result of 12 years of elementary, middle, and high school means that everything you do during those 12 years is reflected in college entrance exams.
The comprehensive student record screening, one of the representative college entrance examinations, is a screening process that reflects the ‘school life record.’
This school record reflects not only grades by subject, but also attitude areas such as leadership and character, as well as secondary abilities such as arts, physical education, and reading.
During middle and high school, ‘grades’ become the most important of these factors.
So, when can we cultivate attitudes like leadership and character, which are crucial elements of a student's college transcript, and secondary skills like arts, physical education, and reading? Right now, in elementary school.
Elementary school is the optimal time to improve your reading level by reading books on various topics, develop your artistic and physical skills through experiences in various fields, gain experience by participating in various competitions, and develop leadership skills by serving as a class officer.

One of the biggest reasons why elementary school children spend more time playing games is because they play a wider variety of games.
I play games on my phone, on my computer, and on various other games, so even if I play each game for 30 minutes, if I play six games, three hours will quickly pass.
So, first of all, I would recommend that you guide your child to play games only on either a cell phone or a computer.
And even if you do one of the two, it is recommended to limit the game types to only one or two.

When you advance to middle school or high school, you will have to submit many reports and assignments for all subjects, not just Korean.
Performance assessments will also largely consist of writing, and there will be more 'descriptive' tests.
Especially in the case of high school internal exams, writing skills become more important as one of the factors that determines the top grades is how well you solve 'descriptive' problems.

If you don't have a solid foundation in writing, it will be difficult to express what you know in writing.
Even the child's abilities and knowledge may be underestimated.

First of all, the first thing I want to say is that good deeds are not mandatory in elementary school.
These days, math academies often require students to do advanced math, and many students study ahead of others on their own, so some people look at it as strange not to do advanced math in elementary school.
However, in elementary school, even if you don't do the prerequisites, there is no problem at all in keeping up with classes and studying.
So, there is no need to worry about not doing good deeds.
However, ‘review’ and ‘deepening’ are essential.
For the current math curriculum taught in school, it is important to memorize the concepts learned that day and review them by solving problems again.
In fact, in elementary school, deepening is much more important than prior knowledge.

---From "Good deeds are not mandatory"

Even if you send your child to a math academy during elementary school, I recommend that parents help their child work on two workbooks at home independently, separate from the academy's progress.
In my experience, working on two workbooks on my own, separate from the academy's progress, helped me solidify my elementary math skills.
Here, I will tell you how to solve each problem book and what role each problem plays.
---「It is good for children to study two workbooks independently, separately from the academy」

How you study is important, but your attitude toward studying is also important.
Perhaps what makes a top student is the difference in mindset.
I always thought that today was the day I wasn't the smartest while studying for the test.
I have always been humble and tried to learn what I didn't know, and I wasn't afraid of failure in the process.
And on the actual test day, I went into the test with tremendous confidence.
Because the day of the test is when I am the smartest.
Although they are still elementary school children, I hope that their parents will guide them so that they can recognize and study like this in the future.
If you tell your children, "Today is the day I'm not the smartest," they will feel more confident in their studies.

The most important thing is to trust your child.
Cherish and value each and every thing your child does and accomplishes, and encourage them.
The sense of accomplishment that comes from accomplishing something on your own will be a major driving force behind your next challenge.
I believe that the best way to be a facilitator is to ask the student's opinion, provide guidance little by little when the student needs it, and provide direction, rather than providing something in advance.
There may be times when you feel confused about whether you should be doing this or not, comparing yourself to other parents' children.
But even in those cases, I think it's appropriate to encourage the child to try it once rather than forcing it.
Even though elementary school students may look young, I think it's a good idea to give them the opportunity to decide for themselves whether or not they need it.
When children make choices like this, they will be able to take initiative and achieve things in the future.

---From "What I Want to Say to Elementary School Parents"

In this book, we introduce to parents of elementary school students good study and learning methods for each subject that their children should use during their elementary school years.
But among the things I've told you, there isn't a single thing that you can say, 'You absolutely must do this,' or 'If you don't do this, you'll be in big trouble.'
During elementary school, it is sufficient to just listen to the school lessons and follow along.
Elementary school is a time to build the basics in order to study properly under better conditions in middle and high school.
Elementary school is a time when there are many things more important than studying.
