Description: "More important than mom-led English lessons is mom-led self-esteem!" A carefully detailed solution guide for mothers of elementary school children, addressing their most vivid concerns. The author's blog, 'Elementary Self-Esteem Class,' has become an online sanctuary shared link by link in countless group chats among mothers of elementary schoolers—a blog that nearly every mom with a school-age child has visited at least once. Why do so many mothers flock to Teacher Ottugi's blog to click 'recommend' and leave heartfelt comments? Drawing on her observations as a practicing teacher and her own experience as a mother, the author emphasizes that a child's self-esteem is the single most important factor in their elementary school life. Standing at the intersection between teacher and parent, she offers realistic, balanced guidance along with concrete, actionable solutions. The examples in this book are drawn from real episodes that frequently occur in elementary classrooms, reorganized for clarity. The book is also divided into sections for lower and upper grade levels, taking children's developmental stages into account. By honestly portraying the realities of elementary education, the author strives to give mothers clear and practical solutions. In particular, the book analyzes common problem situations in elementary schools centered on three types of self-esteem—friendship self-esteem, the self-esteem to say no, and academic self-esteem—and provides practical solutions for each. From children about to start elementary school to older kids entering puberty, this book helps all parents of elementary schoolers manage their own anxiety. Through this book, children can grow a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem. "Why does elementary self-esteem matter so much?" Elementary school is the last stage when a mother can truly help build her child's self-esteem—and the self-esteem built during this time lasts a lifetime. A child with high self-esteem isn't one who has everything figured out. Rather, it's a child who can view themselves positively—someone who doesn't feel discouraged by poor grades, nor boastful over good ones. In other words, a child with a happy, resilient heart that doesn't easily crumble. When it comes to nurturing a child's self-esteem, it's essential to remember one thing: the child is the main character of their own story. Yet most parents step in to solve their child's problems ahead of time and prevent failure before it happens, unintentionally robbing the child of the chance to take the lead. This tendency often begins the moment a child starts elementary school—worrying whether they'll be picked on by friends, whether they'll fit in with the group, whether rumors will spread about them, how much private tutoring they should have, how to build good study habits… Driven by misplaced anxiety and worry, parents often move faster than their child's own natural pace. The author emphasizes that the process of building 'mom-led self-esteem' is a daily battle against anxiety, and that in order to grow a child's self-esteem, a mother must first overcome her own anxiety. The more a mother overcomes her anxiety, the more her trust grows—and exactly in proportion to that, her child's self-esteem grows too.
