You're listening to Stage for Kids podcast, the channel for creative expression, character
building and self development for young children. Guardians and teachers join Teacher A Meal
and friends as we aim for thestars raising Heroes up tomorrow. Now here's
your host, Teacher A Meal.Hello, fellow erkaddes and moms and dads,
(00:51):
and welcome to the Stage for Kidspodcast for adults. I am Featurrey
Meal, and right now we allgoing to talk about problem solving skills in
our young children. Yes, it'sa very important skill because we go through
(01:15):
challenges and situations and obstacles every singleday, both adults and children. And
children have to solve problems in schoolwhen they are doing the academies, they
are doing a social skills and reachmentprograms even outside of school that are fairground
(01:41):
at home, they are learning howto solve and get over challenges and situations.
Is that problem solving skills is apart of cognitive skills. Now,
we can expand on the idea andwe can define problem solving skills a lot,
(02:02):
but there's a lot of information aboutthat all over the place. But
I want usk right now to thinkabout these suggestions that I've am recommending because
for us to develop in our childrenthe strong skilling problem solving. We've got
(02:28):
to cultivate the habit, the skilland the practice of problem solving. I've
got these three very important ideas.Now. The first one is acknowledgement.
We must a knowledge and let thechildren know that there is a problem,
(03:00):
and there is an obstruction and there'sa challenge. There's a lot of us
tend to brush aside problems and challengesin front of our children. Now,
of course we need to keep itage appropriate. But when we are able
(03:23):
to acknowledge and identify or we've gota problem that's a situation, we are
giving permission to ourselves and especially ourchildren to identify and to know that there
is a problem and there needs somesituation. He needs solutions and creative ideas
(03:46):
for us all to solve the problem, to get over the problem, to
go around the problem. So firstly, we need to acknowledge that there is
a problem, and children need toknow and understand that it's okay to have
a problem, to have the challenge, to have the obstruction, and from
there we can then work on solvingthe problem. The first one acknowledgement.
(04:15):
Now, the second suggestion is andyou know, we've heard a lot of
this. I'm sure you have readit somewhere or heard it somewhere, the
term helicopter parents. Why do wehave helicopter parents. It's mostly because we
want children to succeed, to win, to achieve. And that leads me
(04:38):
to the second idea. We needto allow our children to try, and
we need to allow them to fail. It is true their own experience that
they can learn and experience and understandthe process, the challenges, the problems
(05:04):
that they may and they have andthey experience to get to an outcome or
objective. They need to know,they need to understand, they need to
experience and wonder and think, andthen from the failure we can then work
(05:32):
with them. Hey, let's solvethis challenge. What can we do together
to achieve what we want to achieve. Now, it's also important to know
that when we allow our children totry and fail, we must be with
(05:53):
them. We don't put them downbecause failing is not on them. It's
just to be behavior or it's justthe challenge of situation. And so when
we are supporting them, remember,please, you guys, it's not the
child that's failed, It is theskill and the abilities and the situations that's
(06:18):
failed. It's not the person,it is the experience and the situation and
the skills. Okay, because we'vegot to separate these two right now.
So we've got two suggestions. Sothe first suggestion is to a knowledge that
there is a problem. Have thechildren know that. Understand that. Number
(06:41):
two, we must allow our childrento try and to fail. Support them,
but allow them to experience failure.And there are so many other different
skills that they will actually learn anddevelop from the experience of failing. Right
now, the third suggestion is toinclude them in our planning, in our
(07:09):
scheduling, in our problems solving gatheringsor meetings to help them be a part
of planning an event and outing asituation a challenge. It's not only going
(07:30):
to build trust and communication, it'sgoing to also empower them to be a
part of solving the matter, solvingthe issue of timing and moving around and
scheduling who gets to do what,walk time and all that, because there's
also obstacles. Right So when youinclude them and that you're we are working
(07:55):
on so many different skills and that'scultivating problems. So we've got three.
Right, So we've got one wishesto knowledge there is failure and that's fine,
or there's a challenge, that's fine. Number two allowing children to try
and to feel that it's going tocontribute towards their problem solving ability. It's
(08:16):
in confidence. And the last oneis to include them in our planning because
you know, teachers, we andparents, we just sometimes dismiss our kids
and say, hey, can goread the book, go do that a
slight money plan, or we're goingto do today right, because you know,
we're just so used to taking charge. But when we keep doing that,
(08:37):
our children will not be able tolearn from us because we are the
ones who are teaching them. They'relearning from us. Okay, so do
that and it takes cultivation, andcultivation means we've got to keep doing this.
We can't just do a one alland once in a while we forget.
Okay, but it all takes cultivation. It needs to be a habit,
(09:03):
and we all know habits take practice, and practice takes awareness right and
purposeful action, and in time,hey, we've got a bunch of wonderful
kids with good problem solving skills,who don't give up, who communicates because
(09:26):
who likes to teamwork with other people? And then there you go three main
core important habits, values and activities. Yes, develop children's problem solving skills.
(09:50):
So I'll see you in Well,i won't see you, but I'll
catch up with you in our nextstage four kids podcasts for adults. Thanks
