Description: "Turn everyday frustrations into teachable moments. Young children encounter problems, mistakes, and accidents that challenge them daily. Helping children conquer everyday frustrations fosters the creativity, critical thinking, and resilience that enables children to thrive in a formidable world"--
Review Quotes:
Facing moments of conflict, misunderstanding, and challenge are part of the human experience we all share. Through our work with children, Ann Gadzikowski reminds us that we have inner reservoirs of creativity, courage, and connection to handle the moments that surprise us, moments when we feel less certain and skilled. The teacher becomes the learner and the learner becomes the teacher. Problem Solving with Children helps educators embrace difficult moments with curiosity, humor, and grace.
-Cori Berg, Director, Christ Lutheran Child Development Center, Dallas
Ann provides new and tenured teachers heirloom seeds of wisdom with pH balanced approaches to problem solving with young children. Her clear explanations and accessible examples are to be practiced as one may do after visiting a master gardener's tool shed, "Ah-ha! Now, this is useful!"
