Experts in PDC (Positive Discipline in the Classroom) and early childhood education
Completed systematic teaching method

'Positive Discipline in the Classroom', based on Adlerian psychology, is the most effective educational approach recognized by teachers and education experts.
This book contains the educational philosophy of the kindergarten and elementary school education curriculum based on ‘positive classroom discipline.’
Especially in today's society where many families have only a few children, it is more important than ever for children to develop the virtues necessary to live competently as members of the community.
This is a time when our children must learn consideration and compromise as members of a community while maintaining their self-esteem as individuals. Through examples of early childhood education through PDC, teachers can learn in detail everything they need to know about this period, from educational philosophy and classroom management to disciplinary methods, life guidance, and social-emotional education.


For successful kindergarten-elementary school connection as suggested by the Ministry of Education
What are the four competencies?

To help us gain a more accurate understanding of early childhood education, we will examine the examples of countries around the world (New Zealand, the UK, Finland) that have been practicing early childhood education ahead of us, and suggest the direction of public education in Korea.
Additionally, based on this, it provides an in-depth explanation of the ‘4 competencies’ presented by the Ministry of Education.
This book introduces classroom positive discipline activities to help children develop four competencies that they need to develop: physical motor skills, lifelong learning skills, self-regulation skills, and social-emotional skills, based on the four principles of early childhood education: continuity, connectivity, diversity, and cooperation.


Growing through Positive Discipline in the Classroom (PDC)
For children, parents, and teachers

Adler, who is the psychological basis of PDC, said, “The task of a kindergarten teacher is to foster the child’s sociality.
“Education from the perspective of nurturing socially competent individuals should not remain an empty slogan,” he said.
What is the difference between learning and acquiring?
Learning is the process of teaching and learning, and acquisition is the process of putting what you have learned into your body.
Early childhood is a time for acquisition, not learning.
As the Korean proverb says, “Habits learned at age three last until age eighty,” children’s social and emotional skills are not innate, but must be developed through practice and acquisition.
We need to find skills that we haven't learned yet and teach and practice them.
These exercises will be a valuable experience.


Successful experiences during the first transition in life will serve as a stepping stone for the next transition.
This will help children build a strong inner self and internalize it to move forward into the bigger world.
This book was written with the sincere desire to support children who are going through their first transition in life and to help them succeed.
This is to help children grow into well-rounded individuals with sound character, social skills, and the four competencies suggested by the Ministry of Education.
I hope that this will be a time when both parents and teachers will be happy through the child's changes.
