Now they can use these same problem-solving skills to solve real life problems! This workbook is designed for use by teachers and counselors to help children learn essential interpersonal problem solving skills. As children learn to solve real life problems in the workbook, they can begin to apply these same techniques to their own life.

Teaches children a five step problem-solving process, including:

1. Identifying the problem.
2. Gathering the facts.
3. Weighing and comparing alternative solutions.
4. Determining the best solution.
5. Acting on the solution and making changes if necessary.
