Book Introduction
Who does this guy resemble to be acting so selfishly?

The number of parents who are worried about their children acting out has increased significantly.
The popularity of the TV program "My Child Has Changed," which deals with children's character issues, is a good example that reflects this trend.
Our Child Has Changed addresses not only the child's psychology and behavior, but also the parents' psychology and behavior with equal importance.
In other words, it is saying that the child can change only when the entire family changes.
Experts agree that children's problems are often the parents' own problems.
Therefore, efforts to correct a child's behavior through coercion or corporal punishment without examining the child's entire interpersonal relationships often do not have much effect.


As is well known, corporal punishment by parents who do not emotionally empathize with their children only temporarily covers up the problem, and it is bound to surface when the parents are not around.
Therefore, successful character education for children can be a valuable time for reflection not only for children but also for parents themselves.
The delightful and paradoxical picture book How to Lose All Your Friends is quite unique in this sense.
Because we are approaching the issue of character from completely opposite perspectives.
Author Nancy Carlson uses a motherly, loving, and humorous voice to reach out to selfish children in a unique and paradoxical way, rather than a scolding tone.
The power of this picture book lies in its ability to provide a fun, non-teaching educational method that goes beyond the serious and serious nature of character education, to allow children to realize things on their own without being scolded, and to allow both parents and children to enjoy reading and ultimately achieve enlightenment.

▶ A mirror where children see their ugly selves

As the title suggests, "How to Lose All Your Friends" reveals its theme paradoxically.
The main characters in the book are selfish and stubborn, anti-teacher figures.
It is to guide children to find their own enlightenment by discovering their own ugly aspects and actions in the main characters.
So, children who read picture books can correct their bad habits without being scolded, and they experience further changes through the enlightenment they have gained on their own.
Also, as mentioned in the 'Translator's Note,' if you take a closer look at the reasons why children, like the child in 'How to Lose All Your Friends,' try to do everything their own way, are selfish, and act mean, you will discover a desperate need you had not even noticed, and you will also gain new insight into how parents should deal with selfish children.
