Health: Problem Solving Problem solving is a skill that is highly important that you will need to use throughout your lifetime. The better our problem-solving skills are the greater control you will have over issues in your lifetime. Watch this funny video – Click me! Many of us, probably all of us, are like the man in the video yelling for help when we get stuck. When we get stuck, we stop and immediately say ‘Help!’ instead of embracing the challenge and trying new ways to work through it. Practise your problem-solving skills by reading the text and answering the questions below!
