This book is packed with techniques to transform classroom situations where all teachers treat groups of children the same way into effective moments for connecting with children's hearts. It offers counseling skills that are immediately useful for teachers. It includes tips on how to capture children's hearts in class, how to make children shine, effective techniques for each subject, and concrete suggestions for individual and group counseling techniques that are effective in classroom settings and with groups of children. Practical examples are specifically introduced, making you feel motivated to put them into practice starting tomorrow. I've only read the parts I needed, so it doesn't feel heavily used. Currently, it seems to be selling for about twice the original price in bookstores, so it's recommended for those who want to buy it at a lower price.
