“This book is dedicated to Minh Khue, my little daughter who is my endless source of inspiration on my journey of life and motherhood full of happiness!” - those are the heartfelt and sincere words from the heart of mother Ho Thi Hai Au - mother of Minh Khue, the excellent girl who received a scholarship of more than 8 billion VND from Harvard University.
With 7 chapters filled with love and valuable sharing about the journey of raising and accompanying children, the book quickly became a "publishing phenomenon" in the first printing with 6,000 copies in just 3 weeks of release.
Responding to readers' needs, in this reprint, the book hopes to send to modern mothers methods to accompany their children on the journey ahead.
The 700-page book begins with the author's reminiscence of "Friday the 13th" - the day Harvard announced the Early Decision (ED) admission results at 3 p.m. Massachusetts time, USA (ie 3 a.m. December 14, Hanoi time).
The author tried to appear calm because he knew his daughter Minh Khue was very nervous, anxious and stressed.
Always by my daughter's side, many times when she faced countless competitions, before the moment of receiving the results, the author always told her: "We have worked very hard. We have tried every second, every moment. We have done everything! Now, no matter what the result is, we are very proud of ourselves, my child! Happiness - is not only the result when reaching the finish line, but also the feeling of self-esteem on each stage of the journey, right child?".
The day her daughter Minh Khue was accepted by Harvard University with a dream scholarship, many people advised this mother Ho Thi Hai Au to write a book and finally, after a period of consideration, she chose to write a book of more than 700 pages with the title "Vietnamese mothers teach their children to walk with the world".
The name of each chapter is also the heartfelt words and valuable experience of mother Ho Thi Hai Au dedicated to her daughter and those who have been, are, or will be mothers, including: Learning to think holistically; The natural law of survival, the backbone of the philosophy of wise parenting; 18 years of diamonds; Learning to enhance qualities, not learning because you have qualities; Sex education starting at age 0; Macrobiotics and the story of flying dreams; Every day is Mother's Day.
The success of accompanying your child to learn how to "walk with the world" is not the prestigious scholarship from Harvard University, but the child's confidence, happiness and maturity.
Reading the words her daughter wrote to her, author Ho Thi Hai Au felt that even more deeply: “I am grateful to my mother, my best friend and companion, who always believed in me even when I doubted myself the most, who never questioned my love for her even in the most stubborn and rebellious moments of puberty…”.
With all her experiences, experiences and sincere feelings, "Vietnamese mothers teach their children to walk with the world" is a dense handbook of sincere and emotional sharing, interwoven with scientific and effective child-rearing knowledge, which any mother needs to have.
