What can you do to help your children become independent problem solvers?  How do  you help everyone around you take care of their own feelings.  In this episode I will be talking to Dr. Elisa Michals, professor at William Jessup University and California State University.  She also happens to be my twin sister.  Sit back and enjoy!

Key Concept:

Every conflict is an opportunity for children to learn how to regulate their feelings and become master problem solvers.

You don’t have to solve the problem for your children. In fact, the goal is to help them learn how to do it independently.

Moral learning happens through 1. Modelling, 2. Practice and 3 reinforcement

Keep repeating the process

Take Aways:

1. Talk to each child separately to get their side of the story.

2. What is the problem?

3. How do you feel about it?

4. What can you do to solve the problem?

5. Have them do the same thing to each other.
