Parenting with Vibrant Wisdoms

Parenting is important for building a future comparable to a national project to discipline, education, manners, culture and wisdom to raise the next generation.

It is an important time for parents and children to grow up powerfully as human beings by eating the same pot of foods and living together with emotions for 18 years with the precious life entrusted to them by God.

While working as a single mother and business woman in the United States,
I have raised my son to become the best teacher award winner at” Big Apple Award” in the prestigious New York education world.
I wrote this book to talk to my best friend’s daughter, a new Mom, about the wisdom I gained from my parenting experience.

In the United States since the 1980s, I think that the child-rearing wisdom cultivated while struggling and hesitating while maintaining a good balance between the two countries may be of some help to parents who are currently struggling.

Not a child who has only intellectual talent such as "How to raise a child with high IQ", but parents and children always have a calm heart and can live with a smile. Even if there is a parent-child quarrel, it is basically the wisdom to make the family full of heartfelt love, respect, and gratitude.

When you make a mistake in raising a child who frequently causes problems in your family, the family suddenly becomes a shrine for relatives who have a rough heart.

It is important to keep the rules, promises, habits for “ family smile” in everyday family life. I am convinced that by this continuing, the children can grow into a compassionate and mentally balanced person who feels the pain of others.

I think “the greatest reward” for a parent's life is to be able to live the rest of the years without any sorrows or worries after the child leaves the parent's house.
Looking back on these 20 years of my life, I sincerely enjoy this reward with an overflowing love for my son.
