Modeling Problem Solving Skills
Let your problem-solving strategies be examples for your children.
- Think about how you solve problems, and model your solutions! For example, if your child is having trouble stacking rings, show them how before having them try again on their own. Talk aloud as you come up with a solution, and break it down step-by-step.
Tip to try:
Acknowledge when things don’t go as planned. What happens if you stack the small ring before the larger one? Oops! It’s important to model that adults make mistakes too.
