My girls are 6 and 5. They started kids’ climbing in winter, and now it’s already midsummer. At first, even hanging on was hard, but now they climb freely, following the rules. I’m not making them study yet—just want them to play and explore the world with their hands, as they should at this age. Have a great weekend 💕

So good!! I loved indoor climbing all throughout my childhood, I used to go every weekend — and yet I’m afraid of heights 😂! One day in the mountains, they tried to make me rappel down a 60-meter wall with our school group, and I was so terrified I flat-out refused. An educator who also had a fear of heights tried to show me it was doable, and she ended up stuck at the bottom, paralyzed and unable to climb back up 😂. I think if I had started at your kids’ age, I might’ve managed my fear of heights better. In any case, it’s a great thing to get them used to that kind of activity early on 🔥

In Korea, people often say not to label kids negatively during parenting. For example, saying things like “If you’re scared, don’t do it. You won’t be able to because it’s scary. But maybe try to overcome the fear? Though I doubt you can, just give it a shot” — those kinds of negative labels. I try to turn that into something positive like, “It might seem scary at first, but take the first step — it’s really not a big deal and it’s easy. You’re always good at everything. Wow, even mom and dad are scared but you’re so brave.” When I show fear and anxiety, the kids pick up on it and unconsciously feel that it’s something to be afraid of! I want the kids to enjoy a world where they can touch and run around freely!

You truly have a beautiful vision of education. Here, it’s much more complicated with labels put on children from a very young age, questionable academic guidance, a culture overly focused on grades, etc. And yet, we have Great Britain right next door, where failure is seen as a driver to push oneself further whereas here, failure is still something stigmatized and exclusionary. I hope we’ll one day follow your example!

Private education in Korea is globally known, and sadly, it’s embarrassing to admit that the suicide rate among middle and high school students due to academic stress is extremely high — even on a global scale. Both my husband and I graduated from some of the top universities in Korea, but looking back now, we sometimes wonder, “Did it really matter?” I wish I could’ve just played and enjoyed life like a kid at that age, but instead, I was always doing extra studies, going to tutoring, academies, and taking lessons. I barely had any time for myself during the week — even sleep was a luxury. I just hope these experiences we’re giving our kids now will be remembered like precious gems one day.

Honestly, when I read you here and think about your journey and your husband’s (you were strong here we don’t do a tenth of what you accomplished as kids), I tell myself that in the end, you’ve already done everything to make sure your children can grow up with the same advantages you had, but without having to work themselves to the bone like you did in the past. They are blessed not only do they have conscious parents, but they also arrived at a time when existing tools will allow them to be increasingly efficient while spending far less energy. And I would even say that what you’re instilling in them today will soon become the norm. Everyone will abandon this race for excellence to refocus on the essential things in life. You didn’t suffer just for yourselves, but so that your children could reap the rewards of your hard work. It’s beautiful ❤️

Honestly, I’m crying right now as I read your comment—so much that I can’t even stop the tears. Maybe what I really needed wasn’t a huge amount of money or endless support to raise my kids with ease, but simply someone telling me, “You’re really doing a great job.” I’ve always been anxious, wondering if my way of parenting was wrong. Even when I try not to compare, hearing things like “their kid started this class” or “they go to that academy” always shakes me. When our parents raised my sister and me, they went through so much, pouring all their lives and money into an uncertain future for their children. They were new to parenting too, weren’t they? But still, they never stopped to think twice—they just did everything they could to shape our lives. And now I’m doing the same. I may not be perfect, but I’m a first-time mom too. I don’t know what’s truly right, but I’ll keep doing what I believe is right. Thank you, truly. 200 $TIPN 200 $degen 1000 👏
