(著) 田村一二

作品詳細

[About the Book]



If you find yourself wondering, “What should I teach children?”—this book offers valuable guidance.



Written by a Japanese educator who, after years of teaching at junior high and high schools, was appointed as a principal at an elementary school for the first time, this book is a collection of the “words” he has shared with his students over the years.



What you will find here are not complex theories, but simple and essential lessons drawn from everyday school life—words he has actually spoken to children. For example:



Why are greetings important?

Why is it necessary to have goals?

Why must we protect life?



The author speaks about these fundamental themes in language that all children can understand—from first graders just starting school to those on the verge of graduation.



He also addresses realities that cannot be avoided in school life and beyond—such as bullying, parting, and disasters—while continuing to ask the essential question: how should we live?



This book does not teach methods for improving children’s academic performance.

Instead, it focuses on something far more important: what it means to live as a human being.



The future is like a flower, and children are its seeds. The words we offer them shape what that future will become.

For teachers, parents, and all who are involved in children’s lives—

a book that will change the words you choose, starting today.
