The author raised two children while working full-time, and after trial and error, both successfully entered the University of Tokyo straight out of high school. However, she did not provide special gifted education or excessive exam preparation. What she valued were home habits and communication from early childhood, creating an environment that nurtures curiosity, and the child's own proactive attitude towards learning. This book specifically explains what parents should be mindful of at each growth stage, from infancy to high school. Comparing both middle school and high school entrance exam cases from actual experience, it introduces learning methods that don't rely too much on cram schools, ways to interact without forcing study, and home environments that foster self-efficacy and language skills. What should parents do so that children can carve out their own lives? This book conveys practical knowledge of parenting that nurtures "life skills" beyond just passing exams, drawn from life-sized experiences.
