Problem-Solving

"I am a problem-solver."

Hannah, my 8 y/o daughter, was firm when she read this line aloud from A 31-Day Positive Affirmations for Kids and Teens.

"Based on what you read, what are you gonna do if you have some concerns or problems?"

"Well Dad, first I will find out what the problem is."

"And then?"

"Then I will look for solutions. . ." She hesitated a bit. .

"And after that, I'll choose the best solution."

"Anything else?"

She placed her pointing finger on her forehead and was in a deep thought. She uttered, "I'll ask for help or advice. . . I'll ask help from Dad and Mom!"

With proper guidance and questions, even kids as young as Hannah can give us some problem-solving techniques.
