- Book Intro
-
Just as "moms" are born when their first children are born, "dads" are born, at the same time. For a man to be a dad, he needs practice. Then what is the first thing the man has to do to be a good father?
There are numerous prenatal education methods available on the market. There are prenatal trips, prenatal acupuncture, prenatal cooking, math problems for the development of the fetus' brain and even listening to English or classical music. But isn't improving your mind and becoming an emotionally stable parent the most essential thing? We all know, without even seeing research results, that the more stable and healthy the parents' emotions, the more likely that the child will also have a comfortable mind and good personality.
In Daddy's Voice 5 Minutes a Day, ten stories that a dad can immerse himself in are included as well as the wisdom children absolutely need in their lives. As in the previous book, the importance of emotional intelligence is highlighted in this book as well. But since dads read the stories, the focus is more on practical emotional intelligence. Practical emotional intelligence can be roughly interpreted as stories that help children grow up kindheartedly. We frequently say "you're clever," not "you have a nice heart." The essence of the book is a "smart heart," which includes a "smart brain."
Thus, all of the main characters in this book listens to their hearts, overcomes difficulties, and makes their dreams come true. These stories started with the wish that our children could also grow up with smart hearts and healthy thoughts, like the characters in the stories. As a father read the stories to an unborn baby, he can spend meaningful time carefully thinking about how to create an environment in which the child can grow up with a kind heart.
