Shin Ae-ra Shares Parenting Wisdom on 'A급 장영란'

On December 18, actress Shin Ae-ra appeared on the YouTube channel 'A급 장영란' in a video titled "장영란 존경언니 신애라 '남편 확 사로잡은 법'(차인표)". During the episode, she participated in a charity bazaar where all proceeds were donated. While chatting with host Jang Young-ran, she was asked about her parenting tips and how to raise children well.

Shin Ae-ra candidly expressed, "We all know the basics, but it seems like we need constant reminders and to keep learning." When Jang Young-ran pressed for a key tip, Shin Ae-ra emphasized the importance of "emotional connection."

She elaborated, saying, "Often, we focus on solving problems, but even if you have to skip a meal and just eat ramen, recognizing that you are doing well is crucial. Understanding feelings like 'I love you' is what truly matters."

Curious about her selfless actions, Jang Young-ran asked why she continues to sacrifice for good causes. Shin Ae-ra reflected, "I turned 50 in the U.S. and realized that I may have fewer days ahead than I have lived. While I have followed my own path until now, I feel there are new paths I should explore."

She added, "If I can raise my voice for children who lack love and care, I want to leave a legacy for my children, saying, 'This is what your mom did.'"

Shin Ae-ra married actor Cha In-pyo in 1995 and welcomed their first son in 1998. She later adopted two daughters in 2005 and 2008, drawing significant public attention.
