A child who can do it, a child who believes in me,
Virtue Project: Building Self-Esteem and Efficacy
Parents and teachers read all kinds of books, listen to lectures, and try all kinds of educational methods to give their children the best.
However, sometimes children do not respond to these efforts and even become more passive.

Children who don't study on their own unless you get angry or nag them, children who only move to avoid getting scolded.
Are children really like that? What's the problem?

The core message of the Virtue Project, “Children are originally jewels,” is not to teach and discipline children about their right and wrongs, but to help children discover the jewels of virtue within themselves and polish them to become their own strengths.
Also, rather than scolding them for repeated wrongdoings, mistakes, or failures, it helps them overcome them by finding and repeatedly training the inner virtues that will help them overcome them.
Not because of anyone or anything, but because you want it and create it with your own power.
It is not a method of teaching and disciplining, or instilling in children by adults, but a self-directed method of discovering and growing the potential already within children.

The Virtue Project is not just a generous education.
First, help children believe in themselves and regain their self-direction.
Children who are respected and who are convinced that they deserve respect strive to become respectable people.
Children who want to behave and behave in a way that better suits the way their parents or teachers see them behave will choose to stick to their principles and achieve their goals.
So, the Virtue Project class is an education that creates ‘can-do children’ who increase self-efficacy.

Virtue Project: A Sustainable and Easy-to-Use Implementation Manual
Children with low self-esteem, lack of motivation, and impatience: the beginning of change.
Education is not achieved through mind and will alone.
We need a sustainable implementation manual that is easy for children, parents, and teachers to use.
The Virtue Project is an easy-to-implement manual that helps children, parents, and teachers create the changes they want.
The author, a young teacher who was lenient and unable to follow through, then tried to control the children with strict discipline, believing it was right, but neither the children nor himself were happy.
After trying hundreds of teaching methods, he discovered the Virtue Project and created a classroom that touched and moved the hearts of children.
The 2016 book, "The One and Only One", which contained that story, was a bestseller for several weeks immediately after its publication and deeply moved the audience.
The repercussions spread to the extent that it was featured in various media outlets and on KBS's [Lecture 100 Degrees Celsius].


After that, interest and inquiries about the Virtue Project continued, and a book was published that contains various implementation manuals and detailed methodologies for the Virtue Project that can be easily utilized by children, parents, and teachers, as well as the aspects of oneself that must be reflected upon first in order to properly utilize the Virtue Project, perspectives on looking at children, major principles, and vivid experiences of people who learned and practiced the Virtue Project.

This book begins with core content that will help weary parents and teachers restore self-esteem and energy, and then provides a sustainable, easy-to-implement manual that can be used to change any child's life, anytime, and in any situation, to increase self-esteem and self-efficacy.
Parents and teachers who love their children but are increasingly exhausted can experience change simply by following the manual.


“My son has had a hard time going to school.
We never talked about school once.
But starting from the third week of March, whenever I opened the door, he would come in saying, 'Mom, my teacher said I was virtuous.'
The next day, 'Mom, my teacher said I can also awaken virtue.' Without missing a single day, I repeated these three stories: Mom, my teacher, and virtue.
And then the child started to change.
…”

After meeting the Virtue Project, children began to discover and shine with their own natural self-esteem, sense of efficacy, and happiness.
The Virtue Project is the starting point and fundamental solution for the transformation from a helpless child, an avoidant child, and a child who cannot control their anger to a child who trusts themselves and is capable.

As with the previous work, all royalties from “Virtue Project Class: Building Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy” will be donated to children and adolescents in difficult situations.
