The Importance of Parental Guidance: Why Parents should not be Friends

‘People often say that parents should be like friends to their children, but I think this is a dereliction of duty.’

This is what Son Woong-jeong, father of national football team captain Son Heung-min and a famous youth football coach, has revealed about his views on education.

Mr. expressed He mentioned this opinion about education in the recently published interview collection ‘I Read, Write, and Throw It Away’ and said that ‘parents who are like friends’ cannot exist.

He said, “If a child has a habit of doing something wrong that needs to be corrected, can that be done between friends?” and argued, “Only parents can tell them that what cannot be done is not allowed.”

Mr. said He also mentions that he raises his children with the thought, “Tall parents raise their children to be big, and small parents raise their children to be small.”

At the same time, he introduced, “The people who ask their children questions are the real parents,” and “When I always asked Son Heung-min when he was happy or what his dreams were , the answer he got back was always. the one.”

The answer was always, “I’m happiest playing football.”

Mr. said It is said that Mab Heung-min spent 7 years learning the basics, but he never got tired, and asked, “Why would he be angry when his dream is here?”

Mr. said It is said that he was a rebel when he was young and had neglected his school studies, but instead, he has been reading books constantly since he was a child.

He said, “I think not only is poverty passed down, but also laziness, diligence, and the cleaning habits of parents,” and “I think children also learn from seeing their parents not cross’ the line between people.”

He also added, “Just because you kick a ball well doesn’t mean you’ll be the best in the world,” adding, “You have to have character.”
