STRATEGIES FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AT HOME
INTRODUCTIONS
Biswas
2022 stated that kids may encounter various
problems in their day-to-day lives. Parents can support them when they are
small, but it becomes difficult when they grow up. Kids aged between 1–14 years
depend on their parents to do their daily activities and solve problems if any.
Parents should try to make their children skilful by asking them to do small
activities of their own. In this article, we are going to learn some strategies
that can help our kids solve problems on their own. She further suggested
the following problems‘s solution for problems at home.
Coping with friends
My son used to keep complaining about his friends when he was little
and I used to intervene in between to solve their problems. But when he grew up
a little more to be 7 years old, I told him not to complain about his friends
every now and then. When I asked him not to complain, he, as a curious child,
asked me, “Mummy, we should not complain about our friends?” And my answer was
‘Yes’ to him. Nowadays, he doesn’t complain and can easily adjust to others.
Knowing how to behave
Our values are shown through our behavior. Every parent tries to
install values in their kids, but it really depends on the kids whether they
follow their parents’ instructions or not. Some kids are really bullies, and
others have to bear with them. Kids who are bullish in nature always try to
turn the other person down, and sometimes it’s not the mistake of the kids but
of the parents. Some Indians are so obsessed with their boy children that they
are blind to see the mistakes committed by their kids. They can blame others,
but they would never see problems in their own kids. Such style of parenting is
really bad for the future of kids. These kids are the ones who can become goons
when they grow up. It is really important for parents to keep an eye on their
kids and also to instruct and scold them when they are wrong.
Doing their daily work
Arranging the books according to the timetable, ironing the uniform, polishing the shoes are some of the activities that kids above the age of seven should know. Nowadays, most families are nuclear where both parents are working. It is not possible for parents to look into every activity of their kids. Parents can teach their children how to organise their books according to a schedule, how to polish their shoes, and so on. When kids do their work on their own, they become responsible. They also learn to keep themselves clean and depend a little less on their parents.
Usage of gadgets
In this technological era, we have got so many gadgets at home
that are user-friendly and also make our lives easy. It is good if we can help
them know how to call their parents or how to warm their food in the microwave.
Children nowadays are very smart and can learn anything quickly. They can take
food from the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave as well. Just a
little instruction and guidance is needed. Also, kids below twelve years of age
should not be left alone to use any kind of gadget.
CONCLUSIONS:
The key to problem solving for your child is to demonstrate the process of problem solving so that he can begin to anticipate and solve problems
on his/her own.
