The loving training received from parents become the main source of essential energy in their children’s lives.

And they become the light and the salt in their children’s lives.

If the son or daughter has received enough unconditional love, true love, they live with the sound healthy self-esteem and pride and such healthy self-esteem throughout his or her life.

They become productive members of society.

Their eyes are also beautiful when dealing with the other person.

Parents need to know a lot about how to raise their children so that their children can become productive members of society with healthy self-esteem and pride, not only while they are growing up, but also after they have grown up and become adults.

Every parent has a lot to do in their own daily life for children.

 In some cases, at the very same time, there are a lot of things to do in a parent’s life.

Their should prioritize what they have to do at that time based on what and how important it is.

In other words, they have to judge what is most important in their life. Prioritize your to-dos.

You have to work according to that priority.

Parents themselves must decide their own life priorities.

Some parents value honor more than their children, such as the money or some work more than their children, and socializing more than raising their children.

Fame or money is the number one priority in some parents’ lives. Of course, fame, money, work, and socializing are also important in their life.

All parents must set priorities in their life.

Most of those who are successful economically, socially, and politically make God, himself or herself,  wife, or husband, and his or his children as a priority order in their lives.

I, myself is at the most important priority in my life, then my wife or my husband, and then the next most important priority in my life is neither the money nor the honor nor the work. It is the children.

There is also a word that is a model of life in the Orient, called “Sushin-jega (修身齊家 수신제가).

Let’s assume that we don’t know what our life priorities are and that we live by coping with situations that happen every moment or every day in our daily life or raise our children without making life priorities.

Imagine living with children as a priority over the honor, money, and management of their parents. Children will be disappointed.

 Parents learn that they do not truly love them without condition.

You will feel that “my parents treat and nurture me with no value more than money, more than work, more than honor.”

Children are at the forefront of each parent’s life.

More than money, more than honor, children are the number one priority in a parent’s life.
