The Hanam Distinguished Lecture is a lecture program that invites experts from various fields who can contribute to citizens' lives, in line with the vision of creating a "premium lifelong learning city."

In the lecture, Dr. Choi Seong-ae explained how to facilitate smooth communication with children and help them express their emotions healthily. She particularly emphasized the importance of emotional coaching and detailed how learning to convey emotions correctly from parents to children is crucial for the children's emotional development.

Dr. Choi stated, "Expressing emotions healthily without suppression greatly influences a child's growth," highlighting that smooth emotional communication between parents and children plays an important role in the development of the child's character. She also stressed, "When parents learn to understand and express emotions, children can grow up in a healthier and happier home."
