We need to develop a study mindset before it's too late.
Description
Book Introduction
A new learning paradigm that completely changes the preconceived notions about studying.

We need to develop our children's study habits before they reach the 6th grade of elementary school!

There is a common preconception about studying that mothers of elementary school children have.
'You should tease your child instead of stressing them out. A year in advance is bad because it reduces their interest in studying. If you start learning a foreign language too early, your child will get confused. However, until elementary school, developing character and social skills comes first. My child is the type to study hard and his evaluation at school is not bad.'
However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the true nature of our country's elementary education, the problem of learning gaps and learning losses that are larger than expected has surfaced.
Ultimately, blind preconceptions led to a surge in academic enthusiasm, leading some children to complete college entrance exam-level English vocabulary before graduating elementary school. Meanwhile, others were fostering potential fear-mongers (study givers) who completely resisted learning! Yet, because elementary school exams were nonexistent, many parents remained unaware of this serious problem.

The author of this book argues that mothers should step forward to check their children's study habits and nurture them in the right way before it is too late, as elementary school is the final period for the formation of a study mindset, and that preconceived notions about studying should be discarded.
This is possible because it is during elementary school, because after graduating from elementary school, the starting point for studying changes completely!

From checklists to time-based approaches, you can nurture your child's learning aptitude as much as you know.

First, you need to know your child's current level of study motivation to determine the starting point for the 'Study Motivation Enhancement Project'.
The checklist in this book was created by the author by observing and analyzing the behavioral characteristics of children with a good study attitude.
The level can be checked in 5 levels from best to worst, and the author emphasizes that all children can achieve excellent academic achievement by raising their study motivation, and this checklist is only a standard to strengthen parents' resolve.
This means that there is no need to feel anxious or blame yourself for being 'at the lowest' right now.

He also said that lower and upper elementary school grades should be approached differently. If the child is in grades 1-3, the focus should be on developing study habits. If the child is in grades 4-6, the focus should be on building rapport with the parents as they may already have bad study habits or feel resistance to studying.
Also, we thoroughly covered the learning check-up for the winter break of 2nd, 4th, and 6th graders that should not be missed, self-control that is more important than IQ, and even inferiority complex in identifying learning disabilities that are the shadow of low academic achievement.

We are committed to six months of intensive care to foster our children's love of learning.

The author also presents practical methods for fostering a child's love of learning.
During elementary school, the study motivation is most heightened when students run quickly in a straight line with the goal of achieving a sense of accomplishment rather than playing.
It's like planting a flag and running for six months looking only at the flag to find the shortest distance.
At this time, you should not just give the child a goal and tell him to figure it out on his own.
Unless you specifically coach your child on how to do something on his own, it is natural for him not to know.
If you see a child who studies hard and independently making plans, putting them into practice, and immersing himself in his work, you shouldn't feel frustrated and ask why your child can't do the same.

Now is the time to start creating study habits in your child from the beginning.
It is necessary to use the living room as a study space, encourage each other, set specific goals, and manage the process.
In addition, if you increase your child's ability to execute with appropriate rewards and give them a sense of accomplishment every day through memorization and dictation, you can increase your child's motivation to study for 6 months.
The author asserts that there is no faster or easier way.

Into the book
How did that child grow up so well?

We reveal to parents in Korea the secret of the 'study mentality' that takes everything away.
This book was prepared to help all elementary school students develop a 'study mindset.'
I hope that a world will soon come where all children can develop a love of studying and simply attend school without having to send them to expensive private elementary schools or enroll them in expensive private academies.

---From the preface

The era of the gap in cram schooling has arrived.

The dichotomous logic that if you want to develop your character, you have to give up on studying, and if you want to develop your character, you have to give up on studying is wrong.
Both must go together.
In fact, children with a good study mindset develop both character and academic skills.
Unfortunately, if you focus on playing during the early elementary school years, saying, "But that's still character," you'll regret it when you get to the upper grades.
At that time, both character and academics often remain at the bottom.
The child who has both has and the child who doesn't both wander.

---p.17

Don't miss the winter break for 2nd, 4th, and 6th graders.

Winter breaks in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grade are important.
In these three opportunities, we must focus on helping the child develop a love of studying and the ability to study.
Nothing much.
Just tell your child what to do on his own for at least two hours and be there for him.
Then, when something we don't know comes up, we put our heads together and solve it.
I don't believe my child can do well on his own.
If that were the case, the school would not have been created in the first place.
The best thing to improve your study skills is one-on-one coaching.
One-on-one coaching isn't just for the gym.
---p.73

Self-control is more important than IQ.

Most children with a high level of study sensibility become friends with studying before elementary school, like clothes getting wet in a drizzle.
Instead of pressuring them to be good at studying, you should create an atmosphere where they can study slowly and for a long time.
Only then can the child keep pace with his friend called study.
Rather than doing it with a flash of passion or being dragged along by force, we go along silently like a friend next to us.

---p.90

What is the learning process called when arts and physical education are taught from infancy?

Many people take it for granted that they start practicing arts and physical education before elementary school.
However, if you say that you started learning before elementary school, people look at you with a burdensome eye and say that it is 'advance learning'.
“Do you really have to make them do that?” The question is wrong.
Children who have already developed a love for studying before elementary school do so naturally.
Most children who have a positive emotional connection to studying and pursue their desire to learn, rather than being forced to do so, are already immersed in studying for several hours a day before elementary school.

---p.110

The foundation of study motivation, mental immunity

I'm more worried about my child's lost mental immunity than about COVID-19.
These are children who have not been able to socialize with their friends in person for nearly three years.
A child's mental immunity is weaker than you can imagine.
Trusted adults, play together, fix and reuse, and get moving—all of these can be done at home with your child.
I hope you can actively recover from the time when your mental immunity was weakened.

---p.135

Running for 6 months to find the shortest distance in a straight line

Children who study hard and independently make plans and put them into practice, and show immersion.
Many parents feel frustrated when they see their child like that and wonder why their child is not able to do that.
Don't be mistaken.
They did not show initiative from the beginning.
To get to that level, I had to create a habit through continuous management.
There is no child who does something on his own without skipping the habit formation process.
From now on, I need to create these habits in my child.

---pp.146-147

Finding a flexible career path adds motivation.

Rather than worrying that your child has no dreams, you should look into whether your child is given the space to reflect on himself.
If you ask a child who is busy with homework what he or she wants to do next, it is natural that he or she will not know.
It must be assumed that feelings about career paths during elementary school can change at any time.
Such a child fearlessly puts into action and puts into practice what he sees.
In the process, you begin to distinguish between what you need to let go of and what you want to experience more of.
