My child and problem-solving

Try to be calm for your child always, and your child will be calm always. It is good to stay calm as much as we all can – it is good for their school success.

My child and problem-solving

Educators know that problem solving is foundational to a child’s learning capacity.

  • Do not be a “helicopter parent”.

  • Give your child some space. Allow them to make mistakes and teach them how to move forward

  • Encourage creative play:

  • Build a fort in the living room – what funs. Children of all ages learn most in the context of the play. Make sure their play involves enough challenge and requires imagination. Eventually, problem-solving becomes its own reward.

  • Building the occasional roadblock into their experience.

  • Make the difficulty reasonable, and make sure a solution is possible. The more informed choices they have to make the better.

  • Provide multiple potential solutions:

  • Make it possible so that the child can make decisions and solutions.

  • Make problem-solving a fun part of the culture of your home.

We all run into problems all the time, so why not make surmounting family challenges with a positive attitude simple the way your household does their business

  • read problem-solving stories together There is a young adult novel Hatchet, by author Gary Paulsen, tells the story of a teen lost in the wilderness. He survives by keeping his wits and remember staying calm and solving problems as they come long. Use stories like this to inspire.

  • Do some problem-solving projects together:

The more YOUR child sees you in action, problem-solving step by step, the more of a problem solver your child will become.

Teach them basic problem-solving steps:

Identify the problem:

—“I always miss the bus”

Break the problem into manageable parts,

  • My homework is not complete

  • I did not eat my breakfast

  • I have not brushed my teeth

  • My lunch is not packed

  • My backpack is not ready

Tackle the parts one at a time until the problem is solved

  • Allow children to experience failure

If YOU are unwilling to see YOUR child fail at a task, then you are unwilling for YOUR child to learn.

My child and problem-solving

Routinely ask your child for help and make sure the child understands that you respect their capacity to solve problems. Practice brainstorming as a family. You will be surprised at how creative they can be

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of
    the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year
    and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great
    things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
