Raising Resilient Problem Solvers.

By Michael Grose. #2

Ask good questions to prompt problem-solving

A problem-solving approach relies on asking good questions, which can be challenging if you are used to solving your child’s problems. The first question when a child brings you a problem should be:

‘Can you handle this on your own?’

Next should be, ‘What do you want me to do to help you solve the problem?’

These questions are not meant to deter children from coming to you; rather, to encourage and teach them to start working through their own concerns themselves.
