Mom's conviction
Description
Book Introduction
There is no right answer to parenting, We need a mother's conviction to protect her child from the world's prejudices! This book is an essay on child education by Jiyoung Lee, the author of the best-selling books 『Warm and Gentle English Education Method』 and 『Miracle Mom's English』, and an active mom's English instructor. He has often been a topic of conversation for his hard-hitting and blunt remarks and actions, and he has compiled his thoughts and beliefs on parenting, which have received a lot of sympathy and comments on his blog and social media, into a book. Additionally, the warm portrayal of mothers and children by artist Sosohai, who has many fans, is combined with the illustrations, so the readers' emotions will likely be doubled. Due to the coronavirus, children are spending more days at home than going to school. Even without the coronavirus pandemic, these days, as parents raising one or two children, we often worry about how we will impact their lives. Although numerous parenting books and child education experts pour out information through books and lectures, it is difficult to find the parenting method that is right for your child. Children are growing up in a different environment than their parents' generation, and their values are also changing rapidly. In such a situation, it is difficult to use past parental experiences as a shield and set a standard for children. So, the author also confesses that while raising two children, she had countless worries and reflections on whether her thoughts and direction regarding parenting were correct. As I am not a parenting expert, I cannot give a clear answer to parenting concerns, but the author says that since each child is different and has their own unique personality, it is impossible to raise them in a uniform way, and therefore, parenting has no right answer, so a mother's conviction is more important than anything else. In the midst of the hectic daily life of parenting, I hope that mothers (parents) will ask themselves the question, “Why?” for every action and develop their own convictions. In that sense, I hope this book serves as an example. |

Into the book
We boarded a plane, or a ship, called parenting.
As you live, you may encounter unexpected variables.
I'm okay with whatever happens.
You try to protect your child, but more than anything, your child needs a safe mother.
---From "Guardians Come First"
Raising children isn't easy.
Because I was a baby when I was a baby, because I was a toddler when I was a child, because I was a teenager, because I was a boy, because I was a girl…
It's not easy.
It wasn't born as a finished product.
As children grow, they experience growing pains, but so do their parents.
---From "Pain in Parenting"
Isn't the reason raising children is so difficult because we assume we can create them? Creating a good environment is my role.
---From "What Can Be Made"
I hope you don't live an obvious life.
I wish I hadn't become someone who studies because other kids study, goes to college because everyone else does, and blames the country and others for saying things like "Hell Joseon," and blames others and says, "I earned my own money, so what! I'm greedy, I'm stingy because I'm afraid of losing money, and I just want to be popular and make money easily."
The way to avoid raising boring children is to avoid being a boring mother.
Because I grew up as a typical child with a typical mother.
---From "I Don't Want to Raise a Plain Child"
Mother is not a well that springs endlessly.
It is a medicinal spring from the foot of a mountain that flows only after being drenched in rain.
There is no abundant fruit in a drought-stricken place.
Make time for non-negotiables.
Because only when you feel full, satisfied, and happy will the sweet water continue to overflow.
---From "Time That Cannot Be Gained"
If you make it a habit to speak positive words about your child, the way your child, the teacher, the people around them, and even yourself look at your child will change into one of hope and expectation.
Wouldn't the future of a child who grows up with eyes filled with hope and expectation be positive?

Publisher's Review
How far does the role of parents extend?!
Parents should be as deeply involved as possible in their children's lives!
Just look at me, cheer me on, and be someone I can take a break from when I'm having a hard time!
What kind of parent are you? What kind of parent do you want to be?!
There is a drama that is a hot topic these days.
This is [Record of Youth], in which Park Bo-gum is appearing.
Although it is a story about the growth of youth, it is also filled with stories of adults.
Above all, the roles of Ha Hee-ra and Shin Ae-ra, who appear as the mothers of the two male protagonists, Sa Hye-jun (Park Bo-gum) and Won Hae-hyo, are like that.
The story portrays polar opposite characters as parents, and the narrative resonates deeply with parents.
Here are some lines that give a glimpse into the values of parents:
Won Hae-hyo's mother (Shin Ae-ra)
“Parents’ help is ‘their whole life.’
So, we cannot allow our children to make any decisions they want.
Parents always win over their children.
“My parents beat me, and I will beat my children.”
Sa Hye-jun's mother (Ha Hee-ra)
“Let’s give the child some breathing room.
That's what I'm working for.
I've never been able to escape from work my entire life, but I want my children to have a better life than I did.
I want you to live doing what you want to do.
I don't want to be the one to stop someone from trying.
If parents don't trust their children, who will?
“I just want to be someone who can give my child a break when he or she is tired and worn out.”
Although it is a drama, the lines are relatable enough to resonate deeply with parents of today's generation.
Perhaps the reality is that parental involvement has a direct impact on their child's future.
But the drama asks whether that is really the right thing to do.
Sa Hye-jun's mother completely trusts her children and only supports and encourages their actions and thoughts.
Of course, there are limitations to supporting all aspects of the environment, but above all, it is certain that the mindset of trusting and supporting the child's judgment and thoughts is essential.
Won Hae-hyo's mother is deeply involved in all of her children's affairs from beginning to end.
Enough to influence the child's entire life.
As if that's the best role for parents.
But ironically, Sa Hye-jun achieves success in his work without any financial or environmental support from his parents.
On the other hand, Won Hae-hyo appears to have succeeded at first glance, but his self-esteem drops significantly as he finds himself becoming increasingly weak in front of the success of his close friend (Sa Hye-jun).
It may seem a bit extreme and fantastical, but it has great implications for parents.
Most parents use their own experiences as a shield to control every aspect of their children's lives and try to interfere in their decisions.
They are unable to solely trust and support their children's judgment in all decisions, and are always anxious and busy trying to persuade them.
But if you think about it a little more deeply, you wonder if that's really the best option.
Even though it's just one drama, it makes us seriously look back on the role of parents.
Sometimes, I think the true role of a parent is to step back, look at their child, support them, and stand as a strong presence that they can lean on and rest on even if their child's choice turns out to be a failure.
Author Lee Ji-young of “A Mother’s Belief” says:
“A mother can’t make a child into something! A child is a person.
A person who thinks and acts for himself.
What a mother can create is not a certain kind of child, but only an 'environment'.
“An environment where you can study, excel in English or math, read books, and have time to play with friends and learn manners among friends.”
These days, parents often feel overwhelmed and burdened by the abundance of information available.
As home childcare has increased due to COVID-19, more mothers (parents) are having a harder time than before.
While countless experts offer their own opinions and suggestions on parenting, finding the perfect parenting method for your unique child can be challenging.
That's why a mother's conviction is more important than anything else.
In the midst of our hectic daily lives, we must ask ourselves the question, “Why?” for every action and develop our own convictions.
When raising a child, there are many things that seemed serious at the time but turned out to be nothing when you look back, and many moments that passed by at the time but are heartbreaking when you look back.
I hope that every moment of laughter and tears will be filled with happiness, remembering that it is the image of today's child that we will never see again.
