Introduces a unique series of exercises, games, and discussions to help preteens learn to recognize and express their feelings, identify why others behave the way they do, and think of a variety of options when faced with a challenging situation. The author gives clear and helpful examples of how parents can use the “I Can Problem Solve” – ICPS approach to improve communication with their children. The ICPS approach gives children the opportunity to take an active part in problem solving and think of solutions for themselves. This is the key to raising a child who can come up with several different solutions in any situation, think about all of them, and then choose the best one for the situation. Research indicated that this skill is the one that helps children face challenges confidently and have more success and less stress in nearly every aspect of life. It also makes a parent's life much easier, as it helps children learn to wait for what they want, cope with the frustration of not getting what they want, get along better with peers, control their impulses and aggressions, and resist peer pressure. |
