A society of children that adults seem unaware of

“That’s nothing.”, “Why is something like that so hard?” Having already grown up and become adults, we are largely indifferent to children’s suffering.
However, there are still so many difficult things for young friends who have entered full-fledged social life with the label of elementary school student.
This is because we are in the process of socializing and learning manners through direct encounters with various situations.
There are many conflict situations that arise between friends, such as a child asking for something given to them as a gift back, a child who loses something and becomes suspicious of others, and there is a high probability that they will be exposed to rough and violent situations, such as comments about their appearance, hateful remarks, and excessive pranks, such as “Are you a girl or a boy?” or “Your mom is a kimchi stew master.”
This trend is accelerating as the age of access to unrefined media content is lowering.


Human relationships are difficult!

But it's not just children who find this situation difficult.
Parents are also at a loss as to how to help or guide their children when they are faced with an embarrassing situation, and whether it is a situation that requires discussion with the homeroom teacher.
In line with the trends and demands of the times, Sageseul Publishing Co., Ltd. has published a practical book on human relations for children, 『Wise Speaking Dictionary for Dealing with Rude Friends』, which helps children wisely maintain their self-esteem and live wisely in society in the various situations they encounter at school.


Wise speaking suggestions and mindset guide from a current elementary school teacher!

"A Dictionary of Wise Talking to Deal with Rude Friends" is a book written by Won-ah Kim, an elementary school teacher who has observed elementary school students for a long time and up close.
The teacher shows various examples of conflicts he has experienced or encountered while guiding students.
And I offer comfort to students who have experienced or may experience similar situations, and suggest ways to speak wisely without offending others while still preserving my self-esteem.
After indirectly encountering the various situations in "A Dictionary of Wise Talk to Deal with Rude Friends," wouldn't you be able to feel a little more at ease when unexpectedly facing an embarrassing situation? Wouldn't it be better to learn how to express your feelings politely and handle crisis situations in advance without offending others? I hope that with "A Dictionary of Wise Talk to Deal with Rude Friends," you can navigate this period of growth more wisely and intelligently.


Features of this book

Warm and to-the-point advice from a current elementary school teacher.
Kim Won-ah, the author of this book, is a veteran elementary school teacher with countless and diverse experiences working with children.
Through a survey, we collected the concerns that elementary school students are actually experiencing these days.
And he did not spare his support, encouragement, and realistic advice for those concerned.
Throughout the case, the valuable message that we must start by loving and caring for ourselves is never forgotten.


Supporting children's growth!
"A Dictionary of Wise Words for Dealing with Rude Friends" provides guidance without missing even the most trivial examples.
Through this book, readers will encounter various examples of conflict and realize that these conflicts are not caused by their own fault, nor are they unique to them, but are something that everyone naturally experiences.
Just being aware of that fact is quite comforting.
I encourage children to grow up with a more stable emotional foundation.

Reflection on the reality of transitional growth
Children are in the process of growing up.
As we develop social skills, we sometimes hurt others and sometimes get hurt by others.
It's not just one person giving, it's a reciprocal exchange.
To reflect this reality, the characters that drive the story were not divided into good and bad characters.

A sophisticated and practical approach
“You should have told the teacher in that case!” Stop the after-the-fact guidance.
It provides a basic guide to determining whether this problem is something that children can solve among themselves or whether it requires intervention by a teacher or adult.
With "Wise Talking Dictionary for Dealing with Rude Friends," you can expect to respond more wisely and practically to embarrassing situations.
