Epilogue

Parents and children about their bodies and health
A 'starting point for conversation' that allows us to talk together!

The biggest feature of “I Will Always Be the Medicine That Protects You” is that it is in the format of a “letter to my daughter.”
In each chapter, the author thinks of his daughter at each stage of her growth and writes down what he would actually like to say to her.
The story is centered around situations that children often experience, such as “when they have a cold or fever,” “when they have menstrual cramps or a headache,” and “when their body feels heavy from exams and stress,” so that readers can naturally relate to their own experiences.

This letter format goes beyond conveying information and captures the mother's perspective of caring for her child's body and mind.
By talking about not only the act of taking medicine, but also the anxiety of parents looking after a sick child, the independence of adolescents who begin to take care of themselves, and even attitudes toward self-care, the experience of reading the book itself is structured to be a source of comfort and encouragement.

This book focuses on the most practical questions: "When, what medicine, and how should I take it?"
for example,
The basic principles and correct usage methods of everyday medicines such as cold medicine, antipyretics, and painkillers.
Things to be careful of when taking multiple medications at the same time:
How to distinguish between prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and health functional foods.
How to filter out the drug-related information and rumors floating around the internet and social media
It explains the back with specific examples and presents standards that readers can immediately apply to their own lives.
For parents and teenagers who suffer from vague anxiety while going back and forth between pharmacies and hospitals, this book serves as a solid guide that tells them 'how much peace of mind they can have.'

This book serves as a 'conversation starting point' that allows parents and children to talk about their bodies and health together, using medicines that everyone encounters in their daily lives as a medium.
For teenagers, it serves as a guide to medicine they are encountering for the first time, and for parents, it serves as a guide to start learning about medicine and health that they have been curious about for a long time.

“I will always be the medicine that protects you” tells us that “medicine is not something to be avoided at all costs” or “something to be trusted and followed without question.”
Instead, it is a book that teaches you to understand medicine, use it appropriately when needed, and respect your own body.
