Description "Is my son the problem, or am I the problem for always losing my temper?" For the son who never seems to change no matter how many times you tell him, and for the mother who feels helpless—now is the time for firm, decisive action! The special know-how from "Son TV," the channel trusted by 700,000 subscribers "Oh no, it's a boy? Raising a son isn't easy—are you going to be okay?" When parents announce they've had a son, they often hear all sorts of concerned voices around them, big and small. Because of comments like these, many parents worry about having a boy even before the baby is born. In reality, most parents raising sons do worry a lot—that he'll get hurt playing roughly, that he'll fight aggressively with friends, that he'll become addicted to games, that he'll disrupt the classroom atmosphere, and so on. Moms of sons often struggle with their boys' boundless energy, competitive spirit, tendency not to listen the first time, and blunt way of expressing themselves. Without meaning to, many mothers end up yelling at their children out of frustration, and then blame themselves afterward. They constantly wonder: is it my son who won't listen that's the problem, or is it me for always getting angry? Sometimes they feel a deep sense of helplessness because their son simply doesn't change no matter what they say. Countless books and TV programs tell parents, "Don't get angry—empathize with your child's feelings." But many parents confess that this language of empathy simply doesn't seem to work with their own child. Choi Min-Jun, South Korea's leading expert on raising sons and host of the 700K-subscriber YouTube channel "Son TV," argues that we need to face the reality that warmth and love alone aren't always enough to raise a son well. While empathizing with a child's feelings is important, he explains that raising sons also requires "action parenting"—correcting behavior through appropriate acceptance and firm boundaries. The basics of son coaching: "Action Parenting" over "Empathy Parenting" How to raise sons right through proper acceptance and firmness The ultimate solution for nurturing innate strengths while correcting problem behavior "Action parenting" means giving a child clear guidance—without pleading or showing anger—and then following through with action when the child doesn't comply. In other words, it's a way of calmly but firmly setting limits without attacking the child. Because excessive empathy can sometimes prevent parents from properly addressing a child's words and actions, "action parenting" is essential for correcting misbehavior. In this book, the author presents concrete methods for changing a son's problematic behavior and nurturing his strengths—all without hurting him. As parents adopt "action parenting" and interact with their children without unnecessary emotional drain, their feelings of guilt will naturally diminish. This book contains the author's unique insights, gathered through countless counseling sessions with mothers of sons and years of education focused exclusively on boys.
