On this day, the talk concert will be held for about 1,400 local parents under the theme, 'To those of you who are tired of trying to be a good parent - find yourself, open your heart, and walk with the school.'
Lee Ho-seon, a special professor at Soongsil Cyber University and a parent education expert, will participate and share stories based on actual concerns sent directly by parents.
He shares solutions focusing on 'parental growth', which helps parents who are exhausted from the burden of being a good parent examine their own emotions and find out how to recover, 'child communication', which helps understand their children's minds and build healthy relationships, and 'school cooperation', which builds trust between schools and teachers and supports children's growth.
Superintendent Kang Eun-hee said, "To become a good parent, it is important to first take care of one's own heart, communicate with the child, and support the child's growth together with the school."
