The Problem-Solving Process
Have you ever been faced with a problem? Maybe you outgrew all of your shoes, or maybe you were struggling with a subject at school. Maybe you have had to move and miss your friends. Everyone faces different problems every day.
Some problems are easier to solve than others. For example, if all of your shoes are too small, an easy solution would be to go to the store and get a larger size shoe.
However, some problems are more difficult to solve, and you need to follow certain steps to solve them. If you aren't getting good grades in a subject at school, what steps can you take to get better grades? Finding the best solution can be a little more difficult than simply buying new shoes.
Did you know that there is a process you can follow to help you solve your problems? As you read through each step, think about how you may already use this process without realizing it.
