Features: A must-have teaching secret for Asahi mothers, where mothers are the best agents for their children's learning. With her unique educational philosophy and learning methods, she has raised two outstanding students, showcasing the immense potential of Korean mothers to the world. The key lies here: a child who had never faced a challenge in math or science was selected after three rigorous screenings as a science prodigy. His academic excellence is the primary reason, and what we need to focus on is this point. Among students at science prodigy schools who struggle with math and science exams, students like him are not few. This demonstrates that academically gifted children, whether in science or art, have a high likelihood of becoming geniuses in specific fields—what we call "nurturing talent." As Edison famously said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% effort," and I firmly believe that genius is nurtured through hard work. If we define genius as students in the top 0.6% who excel academically regardless of talent in specific subjects, then my son is clearly a genius. He was ranked 0.6% in all subjects in middle school. I think many Korean mothers hope for this very thing in reality. While it's great to excel in a specific field, most parents also hope for their children to rank highly among their peers. Therefore, this book will follow this line of thought.
