How to Raise Kids Who Can Solve Their Own Problems
From our partners at Love and LogicHow to Raise Kids Who Can Solve Their Own Problems
Love and Logic is all about teaching parents and teachers how to help kids own and solve their own problems. If children are going to survive and thrive in this complex world, they need practice solving as many problems as possible early in their lives!
By instilling this ability in kids at an early age, they will grow up to become responsible and self-sufficient, able to make healthy and appropriate decisions. Love and Logic is based on a synergistic combination of neuroscience and psychology. We use the power of a loving and empathetic interaction that allows kids to think logically about their problems.
The following process is an example of how to use Love and Logic to get kids thinking more about their problems than we do.
Step 1: Provide a strong and sincere dose of empathy.
Empathy allows the child to stay calm enough to solve the problem—and learn from it. Experiment with saying something like: Oh no. This is a problem. I bet that’s really upsetting.
Step 2: Hand the problem back.
After you have proven that you care, ask: What do you think you might do to solve this problem? Don’t be shocked if the child mumbles, “I don’t know.”
Step 3: Ask permission to share what “some kids” have tried.
Avoid giving suggestions until you have asked: Would you like to hear what some other kids have tried?
Step 4: Provide two or three alternatives for solving the problem.
Remember to avoid resistance by saying: Some kids decide to ________. How would that work for you?
Step 5: Allow the child to solve or not to solve the problem.
Resist the urge to tell the child which alternative to pick. End the session by showing your faith in the child and say: Good luck! Let me know how this turns out.
This approach has proven successful throughout the years for thousands of parents who have taken Love and Logic parenting classes from our Independent Trainers.
