Strategies to teach problem-

solving at home
One should encounter a challenge, do a think-aloud
for the benefit of his or her child . Also parents should

show their child willingness to make mistakes.


1. Ask for advice
• As a parent , you should ask your kids for advice
when you have a problem. This may teaches them
that its common to make mistakes and face
challenges. How ever this may also give them the
opportunity to practice problem-solving skills.
• Take their advice into consideration by indicating that
their ideas are valued and this may lead them to have
more confidence to attempt solving problems on their
own.
Do not provide the answer
• In the any difficult as it may be, as a parent
allow your child to struggle ,sometime fail and
ultimately learn from experiencing
consequences.
Age specific strategies
• From the age of 3-5 years , kids at this age first learn to
manage their emotions and after that it can be difficult for
them to consider the solution. So as a parent , teach your
kids that all emotions are acceptable meaning there are
no bad emotions.
• Parents with the kids from the age of 5-7 should use any
simple problem-solving process that can consistently
implements. Teach kids to identify the problem she or he
is facing. Kids should be able to ask themselves such as ,
“what am I feeling?” what’s the problem ? “what are the
solution ?”
Ask open-Ended question
• This may help kids to improve a child’s ability
to think critically and creatively , ultimately
making them better problem-solvers. Try to
ask them question that may required them to
elaborate more on their problems .Example :
how could we work together to solve this ?
What did you learn from this or that mistake ?
• Don’t ask them question that can make them
feel down.
