In the 21st century, lifelong learning is essential, and the scope of learning has greatly expanded.

The book also advises parents that cultivating children's positive psychological qualities requires special attention to nurturing their autonomy through ten strategies. These include: giving children a space to move forward on their own; giving them time to manage themselves; giving them conditions to experience things firsthand; giving them problems to find answers; giving them difficulties to overcome; giving them opportunities to seize; giving them conflicts to discuss; giving them opponents to compete with; giving them power to make choices; and giving them topics to create. These are the correct perspectives and methods shared by the author with her rich experience and sincerity. This book is suitable for parents of primary and secondary school students and educators.
