Book Introduction

Children face more situations where they have to make judgments and act by themselves once they enter elementary school.

How should children who are still inexperienced handle unexpected situations?

This book begins with questions about situations that children commonly encounter.

“What should you do if you find money?”

“What if a friend who is being bullied confides in you?”

“If a friend is trying to cheat at school, what would you do?”

As parents who cannot know every detail of their child's school life, it's difficult to explain what to do in each situation.

You cannot predict what situations your child will encounter.
