This program is designed as a practice-oriented initiative to help parents deeply understand their children's minds and acquire parenting skills that can be applied in daily life.

The sessions will be led by Lee Yunseo, a professional parent education instructor and head of the Center for Thought Development and Healing, who will guide parents toward personal growth and change.

The first lecture will focus on identifying the temperaments of both parents and children, finding similarities, and understanding the roots of children's behaviors and emotions. The second lecture will cover practicing empathetic communication by reading and responding to children's feelings, as well as emotional coaching exercises that introduce practical communication methods for use at home.

The county aims to help parents understand their children's emotions and develop positive communication habits through this parent education program. As the content is centered on practical application in everyday life, it is expected to significantly improve relationships between parents and children.

After the program concludes, a satisfaction survey will be conducted to evaluate the results and assess future demand for parent education. Based on the findings, the county plans to continuously develop and operate more effective parent support programs.

A county official stated, "This parent education program will be a valuable opportunity for parents and children to understand each other and grow together," adding, "We will continue to promote a variety of parent education programs to foster a healthy parenting environment."
