Taekwondo is a martial art that is synonymous with stances, kicks and punches, but in reality is based on a deep system of respect, discipline, self-control and several other values.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>&ldquo;<\/span><span>A respectful child accepts someone for who they are, even if they&#8217;re different from them<\/span><span>,&rdquo; say authors Olivia Dybik and Steve Doherty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>Today&rsquo;s children face several challenges, including criticism, hostility, shame and ridicule. They tend to develop low confidence and self-esteem as a consequence. The authors, who are experienced Taekwondo instructors, have observed these factors at work among their students.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>The philosophy of Taekwondo is unique &ndash; it teaches students not to start or get into a fight. The practitioners are thus taught to become Guardians of Peace. The Little Tigers series will not only help improve reading skills, but also instill 10 fundamental life principles, which include: 1) guardian of peace (never start a fight); (2) respect; (3) discipline; (4) self-control; (5) persistence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>&ldquo;<\/span><span>We have written the Little Tiger Book Series to help young children understand and comprehend the fundamental principles we teach in Taekwondo and to make reading more fun and enjoyable,<\/span><span>&rdquo; say Olivia Dybik and Steve Doherty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>The book adopts that old oriental philosophy which considers outward display of respect as a sign of strength, rather than a weakness. When children learn respect, the principle can be seen in action in many ways, from saying &lsquo;Thank you&rsquo; to &lsquo;Yes, ma&rsquo;am&rsquo; or &lsquo;No, ma&rsquo;am&rsquo;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>The authors&rsquo; mission with writing the Little Tigers series is to create well crafted picture books that teach valuable life lessons. They envision changing one life at a time, and making children internalize the life principles and live happy, productive lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>Steve Doherty is a former US Air Force officer and aviator.
