To mothers who are going crazy because of their sons
Description
Book Introduction
“When teaching a son, you need technique and method. Boys are designed differently than girls. “Only by accepting this fact can your son grow up to be a good adult.” From 2009 to the present, thousands of boys have gone through the 17 Jaradanam Art Research Institutes across the country. We have been guiding children through art activities so that they can express their inner feelings that they have not been able to express to their parents and teachers and grow up brightly. Rather than providing vertical education that controls and guides behavior, the author has been engaging in art play with children at the same eye level. In the process, there were characteristics of boys that were naturally acquired in the educational field. Based on this experience, he has compiled a collection of case studies to help new parents easily understand their sons' talents, potential, secrets, and incomprehensible behaviors. And he put all his know-how into it. The purpose is to provide emotional understanding and knowledge about 'sons' to adults who have to educate boys while countering the prejudice that 'all sons in the world are troublemakers'. |

To all the mothers of sons reading this book:
Into the book
The process of understanding your son is very different from the process of raising your boyfriend to the position of husband.
The entire process of a man and a woman meeting, clashing, talking, understanding, and working together on their differences was possible because of the efforts of both parties.
But the distance between mother and son feels more difficult because it seems like it is something that only the mother has to resolve on her own.
A new mother who welcomes a son who is so different from her daughter will be curious about everything about her son.
You may wish there was a solution to raising your son.
Now, let's begin the journey to understand our son, to reduce the stress that comes from not understanding him and to preserve our own life.
---"I feel like my life is shortened because of my son."
Just by letting go of the pressure of having to draw well in front of the teacher, the child can gain the motivation to express himself again.
That's how much children these days feel burdened by the gaze of others.
If you sense that your son is hiding something, or if it's time to hear his true feelings for any number of reasons, put aside the burdensome attempt to sit him down and have a serious conversation.
Instead, I recommend messing around with the picture with your child.
This is how you do it.
First, let's buy some 4-section Kent paper and suggest that my son draw a picture.
Some children draw without much difficulty, but others may hesitate and not draw at all.
For children who don't draw, you can ask them to just draw a circle.
Next, quietly ask your son, “Can I draw here too?” and draw a monster next to it.
If a monster opened its mouth, spewed fire, and attacked your son's drawing, how would your son react? Depending on your personality, you'd get a different reaction.
---"I'm curious about what's going on in a child's head."
If your son is slowly becoming addicted to his smartphone, before you worry about how to stop him from using it, you need to think about how to fill the gap in communication and connection.
This is not something that can be resolved simply by spending time together.
Ten hours of doll play is not helpful for a son who needs to run around and play.
For a son who needs to run and play, an hour of running with his parents is the answer.
If your son is interested in cars, more than anything, you should make time to explore cars together.
That is why it is important for parents to carefully observe and clearly understand what topics and play activities their children can use to satisfy their needs.

Publisher's Review
A parenting expert shares 50 tips for raising cheerful, courageous, and resilient children, learned from daily encounters with parents of young boys! Moms often yell at their sons several times a day for their uncontrollable behavior.
I feel like I'm going crazy because I can't understand it and I can't control it.
When a situation is resolved in an instant with a whisper from a father rather than a ten-word sentence from a mother, a strange sense of resentment can be felt. Choi Min-jun, author of "To Mothers Who Are Going Crazy Because of Their Sons" and director of the Jaradanam Art Research Institute, says it's natural for a mother, a woman, to not understand her son, a man.
There is something he always says to new mothers.
“There is no perfect parenting recipe.
But I can find a method that is just right for my son!” The author, who provides answers to all the concerns of mothers raising sons, was able to identify 50 common concerns faced by mothers with sons in Korea through numerous nationwide lectures and counseling sessions for mothers with sons.
『For Mothers Who Feel Like They're Going Crazy Because of Their Sons』 contains specific advice tailored to their concerns.
The author's educational philosophy for his son is that if there are 1,000 children, they will have 1,000 different personalities.
Therefore, he argues, “While there may not be a universal parenting method, a mother can find the parenting method that is right for her son.”
It is largely composed of four chapters.
Chapter 1 contains episodes and guidelines for action that will help you empathize with the frustration of a mother who has to lead her son.
Chapter 2 provides scientific and social knowledge along with counseling content to help understand boys' tendencies.
Chapter 3 is based on conversations with children while playing with art at the lab, and helps mothers develop insight to read their children's inner thoughts that they cannot easily express to anyone else.
Chapter 4 contains practical advice to help mothers and children grow together, including finding their dreams, overcoming tic disorders, and ADHD.
The author's knowledge and expertise on the unique empathy, curiosity, immersion, language development, self-directedness, competitive spirit, storytelling skills, and how to find topics of interest in a son, which mothers born as daughters cannot understand, stand out.
This is also a living story that only author Minjun Choi can tell.
For mothers of sons who are desperate to solve immediate problems with perfect parenting recipes, the author's solution serves as a parenting guide that helps them understand their sons and, furthermore, create a parenting recipe that is just right for their sons.
“If you want your son to grow up to be a good man, do this.” The author, who hopes that mothers and sons will grow together and represents the sons of the Republic of Korea, gives advice to mothers. She diagnoses that the situation in which one whips oneself and one’s child while trying to be a good mother makes one want the perfect parenting recipe.
And he urges, “As the first condition for your son to grow up to be a good man, let go of the obsession with raising your child well and the responsibility to be a good parent.”
It points out that a son in his childhood judges and recognizes himself through the gaze of his mother looking at him, and advises that the mother's self-reproach and worry make the son anxious, which in turn destroys his self-esteem and gives rise to an inferiority complex.
The obsession a mother has while raising her son hinders the child from growing up to be a good man.
The author calms the anxiety of mothers of sons by saying that when mothers accept their children's tendencies, their sons can grow into courageous and witty men.
It also helps mothers and sons grow together by encouraging them to do as much as they can.
He tells the story of a son who suddenly tries to prove his mother's love too much, a son who is obsessed with games, a son who is overly obsessed with being number one, and his practical advice that guides mothers' behavior is even practical.
In this context, he conveys three major messages.
First, the mother should not reject or judge the child's personality so that the child can accept his or her personality.
Second, when your son shows bad behavior, don't try to correct his behavior by nagging him or taming him with praise, but rather consider his feelings.
Third, I will observe my husband, who appears indifferent to childcare but instinctively forms a bond with his son, and learn to accept the characteristics of men as creatures.
Through the author's writings, which understand and support the boy, readers come to understand the inner feelings of their son that they had previously been unable to understand.
Not only that, you will also gain the wisdom to find peace and happiness in gloomy and frustrating situations.
It helps boys, who lack the skills to express their inner feelings as much as girls, to communicate with their mothers and grow into cheerful, courageous, and strong adults.
The author's letter to a new mother at the end of the book is a heartfelt message of positivity, comforting a new mother who has lost confidence in raising her son and is wandering.
"To Mothers Who Are Going Crazy Because of Their Sons" provides wisdom and knowledge to all adults who must guide their boys.
