This easy-to-read book is designed to teach children, especially those between 4 and 10, how to identify problems, brainstorm options, think through the possible outcome of each option and finally, to select and implement a solution. With these problem-solving skills, kids are better prepared to cope with every kind of concern. Frustration and disappointment won't go away, but research shows that children will be less likely to respond with angry outbursts. They will be more confident and better prepared to handle the variety of problems they will face as they mature. Written in the "you-choose-what-happens-next" format. In this title, a little boy is tired when he returns from school and the noisy ride on the school bus, but his pre-schooler sister wants to play as soon as he walks in the door.
