I’m usually drawn to a movie or a book first by its title. “I’ll give you a world bigger than Mom!” It could mean, “I’ll show you and tell you about a world far bigger than little Mom,” or, “I’ll give you a world far bigger than the one Mom has traveled and enjoyed.” I liked that title. In Chapter 1, “My Child, Who Is Not Mine,” the author explains how a child can move beyond dependence on their mother and become an independent person: “separating from the guarantee that is the mother and
‘I hope my child can see and experience a world bigger than mine...’ That thought often came to me after becoming a mother, so the title immediately drew me in. After reading the book, I came away thinking that to give a child a world bigger than Mom’s, I shouldn’t give them everything; I should support and encourage them as they feel their own needs and fulfill them.

My little one is in kindergarten now. They can do quite a lot these days: they’re starting to write and can read a little, and they know how to put their feelings into words. But as my child grows, one thing has become especially clear to me: children are deeply influenced by their mothers. So I always try to be careful with what I say. I don’t always manage it, though.

Lee Su-ryeon: I'll give you a world bigger than your mom's.
A parenting book, ‘I’ll Give You a World Bigger Than Mom,’ has been published for people thinking about how to raise children well and hoping they will one day thrive beyond the family home. Dr. Lee Soo-ryeon, who studied psychoanalysis in France and has practiced clinically for many years, offers deep insight and generous advice about the true place and role of a parent. One of the book’s strengths is that, rather than emphasizing only permission and positivity, it carefully explains through counseling cases and psychoanalytic perspectives why limits and separation are sometimes necessary. Many parenting books give concrete instructions for separating a child’s sleeping space from a parent’s, but few explain why this separation matters and why it should happen early. This book helps readers understand the meaning of such limits, what children can learn from them, and the underlying reasons and principles behind specific practices. Recommended for anyone considering how a mother can love her child and seeking a healthy balance in their relationship.
