Problem solving
We all come across problems we have to deal with on a daily basis, and develop our skills in solving them by watching other people and learning from our own experience.
Problem solving involves
- Knowing when we are faced with a problem
- Identifying what the problems is and how we feel about it
- Thinking of different ways to solve the problem
- Having a go at solving the problems with one of the options or solutions we've come up with
- Seeing if it worked out or if we have to keep trying other ways to solve the problem
- Planning ahead to prevent problems arising
Talk it over
If you've got a problem and aren't sure how to deal with it, you could talk it over with a mate, and even if it doesn't solve the problem you might at least be able to work out exactly what it is that's bothering you. If your problem's with another person it is best to get what ever is bugging you out in the open rather than bottling it up.
If you aren't ready to talk about your problem with anyone else try writing down your feelings in some way, or there may be a web site in the internet that can help.
