Description: Is psychologists' advice out of touch with reality? A 'proven by results' approach to real-life parenting, for parents exhausted by idealistic theories. "The more love you have, the more anxiety grows." Author Yang So-young confesses that she, too, once chased trendy education methods—like mom-led English lessons and Daechi-dong prep seminars—only to end up drowning in self-blame. She makes clear this book is not some far-fetched 'guide to getting your kid into Seoul National University.' Instead, it speaks directly to parents lost somewhere between the idealistic theories found in countless parenting books and the harsh reality of college admissions. Surprisingly, the solution wasn't found in the child—but within the mother's own heart. To keep herself from being consumed by anxiety, the author developed her own concrete mental management techniques, including 'scheduled anxiety time' and an 'anxiety journal.' For parents weary of theoretical advice from psychologists, these are survival strategies forged in the trenches of a working mom's demanding life—practical, results-driven techniques with real persuasive power. Emotional Stability and Academic Achievement: Winning Strategies That Get You Both Through 25 years of her own parenting journey, the author has thoroughly proven the idea that emotional stability must be the foundation for academic success. By letting go of her own anxiety and choosing to trust her children, she watched them grow not just in grades, but in character and future-ready skills. Confidence Over Anxious Acceleration When her daughter, discouraged, said, "Mom, math is just too hard," the author boldly chose to go back and review earlier material instead of pushing forward. This decision to treat a dip in grades as a growth opportunity led to a triumphant V-shaped turnaround in her daughter's report card. Trust Over Control Drawing on insight gained as a divorce attorney who witnessed countless families fall apart, the author compares parents to a sturdy fish bowl that a child can lean on. When parents provide a stable, unshakable environment, children find their own way forward—without needing to be controlled. The Art of Rest, Not Relentless Effort For children exhausted by packed academy schedules, the author created 'skip-the-academy coupons,' helping kids learn to pace their own studying and build resilience. Every counterintuitive parenting method in this book puts a child's emotional stability first—and in doing so, naturally brings about the second, equally desirable outcome: independent learning habits and strong academic achievement. This book shows that this approach is, in fact, the most realistic and effective parenting strategy of all.
