[Book Features]

A clear answer to the question, "Why picture books for early childhood education?"

During infancy, the mind grows as much as the body.
It is important for children to be provided with a variety of daily experiences during this period when they grow little by little and face new challenges every day.
Picture books are a medium that transcends time and space, and makes infinite experiences possible by crossing the boundaries between imagination and reality.
As children wander through the world of picture books, they have the opportunity to reflect on themselves, understand the perspectives of others, and think about right and wrong.
The early childhood classroom is the first place where this kind of learning takes place on a large scale.
By reading children's favorite picture books together and using them in play, you can run a class where learning occurs more naturally and enjoyably.

A field sketch that fully demonstrates the power of picture books and play.

In a classroom with children, learning does not happen one way.
This book vividly and honestly reveals the changes in children that teachers discover as they resolve various situations that teachers and children encounter in the classroom, as well as the lessons that teachers learn.
The "Teacher and Child Growth Stories" section added to each chapter and the "Discovering Child Growth!" section in Part 4 resonate with teachers in early childhood education settings and inspire them to take on new challenges.

-“I am ashamed to say that there was a time when I would place a clock in front of you and teach you the names of the hands and how to read the clock.
They say that a child's greatest learning tool is his or her body.
“As they were physically active, the children naturally became interested in clocks and the passage of time and became familiar with them.” _From page 159 of the text

The magic of 'challenge': practicing and repeating positive behaviors

Part 4 of this book focuses specifically on how to transform children's problem behaviors into positive ones.
It explores the needs and environment behind a child's problem behavior, points out the teacher's guidance points, and stimulates children to think of and practice positive problem-solving methods on their own through 'challenge' activities in each picture book.
Additionally, we added an example of a 'Home-Linked Challenge Guide' to ensure that these activities can continue beyond the classroom and into the home.
Teachers can use this example to encourage families to practice positive behaviors at home.
-〈Example of a Family-Linked 'True Challenge' Guide〉
Rather than forcing your child to be honest, talk about the consequences of not being honest.
If you praise their courage when they speak honestly, they will try harder to be honest with themselves.
Try the 'Real Challenge' with your kids at home too.
- Let's create an 'honest promise board' together to not lie.
- I write down the lies I told on a piece of paper, then fold it into an airplane and fly it.
This week's mission is 'Speak honestly'.
Even small things are fine.
When we honestly confess our feelings to each other, we forgive our mistakes and our heavy hearts become lighter.
