Problem solving is one of those skills I'm truly passionate about - for us moms and for our kids. When our children know how to solve problems, they can face whatever challenges come their way with confidence.
In today's episode, I talk with Linsey Jensen about three simple principles that help our kids become better problem solvers. Whether you're dealing with homework struggles, teaching science concepts, or just trying to get your kids to clean their rooms, these ideas will change how you approach teaching this important skill.
Linsey shares:
- Why making our kids the heroes of their own experiences builds confidence.
-
- How discovery creates deeper learning than following directions
-
- A simple framework for breaking big tasks into manageable steps
As a bonus, Linsey shares some of the amazing tools she's created.
