"A child who knows how to ask questions can pursue their dreams in any world!"
The power of humanities-based questions that nurture a child's learning ability, imagination, expression, and self-esteem.
In an age where a single AI can replace the jobs of 600 people, how can we help our precious children grow into people the world adapts to, rather than people who simply adapt to the world? Kim Jong-won, a master of humanities education trusted by over a million readers, asserts that even when looking at the same world, a parent's small question can guide a child to observe something entirely different — and in doing so, change that child's future.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama, a master of eloquence, grew up experiencing a family culture of open, unrestrained questioning around the dinner table. Director Bong Joon-ho of the film Parasite was also known in middle and high school as an eccentric boy who asked adults wildly imaginative questions. As these examples show, asking questions is a universal and proven educational method that elevates a person's abilities to the highest level.
The time parents spend with their children is a continuous exchange of questions and answers. But choosing good questions to ask in everyday life is harder than it sounds. Even after asking a good question, parents can feel at a loss when their child responds with "I don't know" or "I can't think of anything."
In this book, author Kim Jong-won addresses this common struggle by introducing a curated collection of "100 Humanities Questions" that parents can share with their children. Rather than simply listing questions, the book provides detailed guidance on how and in what situations each question can be used, so that parents can freely and creatively apply them to fit their own child's unique circumstances. When the variety of questions grows as rich and diverse as the number of children and parents in the world, children will break through the doors that once confined their inner world and leap out into it.
"A child's actions today are the answer to the question a parent asked yesterday!"
How to raise a proactive child who isn't swept along by the world's changes.
Adults often want to give children answers — telling them what they should take away from information or what they should learn from an experience. But the more we do this, the more we need to let go of the urge to provide answers. Instead of handing over obvious answers, we should discover special questions together with our children. If we ask questions that help children notice new things — in a restaurant sign passed on the street, in the scenery of a playground, in a conversation they had with a friend that day — their capacity for thought will grow significantly.
The same goes for reading. When a child puts down a book, a parent typically asks, "Did you finish it?" But author Kim Jong-won suggests instead asking, "Where did you stop reading?" This helps ensure that children don't simply get absorbed in the story, but are given a foundation to fully internalize the knowledge and information within the book as their own.
In this way, parents should use the "power of questioning" to press pause on their child's daily life and help build their capacity for thought. If you're a parent who feels increasingly distant from a child absorbed in smartphones, TV, and games, or if you worry about your child's future in this fast-changing, complicated world, try filling your child's daily life with the wise stimulation of humanities questions — the very method that has shaped brilliant thinkers across cultures and centuries. You'll be able to raise a confident child who isn't swayed by the world, and who boldly asks questions anytime, anywhere.
