Fixing things that are broken Some things wear out and break over time, others are flawed from day-1. Personal and business environments are full of things, activities, interactions and processes that are broken or not operating in the way they are desired to work. Problem-solving gives us a mechanism for identifying these things, figuring out why they are broken and determining a course of action to fix them.

Strategies that can help children solve their problems on their own.

 1.Coping with friends  The biggest problem with children/students is that they do not know how to adjust to their friends/sibling.

Parents can always help them understand how they should behave with their friends or siblings to keep and maintain a good relationship with them. 2. Knowing how to behave Behaviour is the main roof of values. Every parent tries to install values in their children in each and every way possible, but it depends on how the child will react to their parents instructions. Some children are really bullies others have to bare and deal with them which is not fair.

This rebellion can make him aggressive and he will break the rules set by his parents the first chance he gets.
