The problem solving technique described in this book is the system the author taught his kindergarten students. It was then reinforced in first and second grade until the students left the building to go to third grade.
The system can be taught to preschoolers by their parents or, obviously, in school by a counselor or teacher. Once taught to the child they may need reminders to use it but once ingrained it can be very effective.
Children often need help with big problems, but can be taught how to solve small ones. Along with the system my students were also taught various plans to follow for specific issues. For example, how to listen, how to handle a feeling problem, or how to protect themselves. Some of those plans are outlined in several of my other books.
Hopefully you will enjoy the book and I hope your children or students use the system-it works!
