Problem Solving Steps:

When there is a problem, instead of reacting, STOP and THINK before you GO! It is important to try to SOLVE the problem - if you just react, you may get in trouble and your problem won’t

be solved.

Step 1: Identify what the problem is.

Step 2: Identify multiple ways to solve the problem. Make sure that your choices really help

to solve the problem! For example, hitting someone because you want a turn on the

computer will not get you a turn on the computer...

Step 3: Think about what will happen after you make each choice, and how you will feel about

it.

Step 4: Choose the best choice.

Think of a time when there was a problem and you used good choices to solve it.

What was the problem? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What were ways you could have solved it? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Which solution did you choose? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What happened afterward? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How did you feel afterward? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
