This article tried to show a new paradigm for elementary school counseling in Korea. Counseling in Korean elementary school has focused on the individual child and/or group of the children without considering school circumstances. But school has some special features which have to be counted for the efficiency of child counseling. Take for an example, children have to spend most of their day time with a class teacher for 6 days a week. So the talks and behaviors of the class teacher have strong influence on the children. These factors should be included in the elementary school counseling to help children grow up and develop. : Six main topics discussed in this articles were as follows. 1. Developmental tasks of Korean children have to be searched and organized. 2. The concept of class management has to be combined with the concept of counseling. 3. Establishing the conditions to facilitate subject learning has to be emphasized in the school counseling. 4. Counseling instruments applicable to the children should be developed. 5. The proper knowledge of teacher's way cf talking and behaving in class life should be organized. 6. The resources of school counseling should be identified and interconnected to provide better counseling service to the children.
