INCREDIBLE YEARS CLASSES Parent’s Page: Using a Problem-Solving Approach With Your Child Children can learn social skills by using a problemsolving approach. Instead of telling children what and what not to do, and why, children as early as age four and learn to tell us what and what not to do, and why— if they have the skills. Session I INCREDIBLE YEARS WHAT: A parenting program designed to strengthen parenting skills and to prevent and treat behavior problems in children ages 2 to 10 years of age. WHO: This class is for parents, childcare workers, foster parents, grandparents and other interested persons. WHEN: 5:30 –7:30 p.m. Tuesday, 3/22, 4/5, 12, 19, 26, 5/3, 10 Registration DeadlineMarch 9 WHERE: ACGC Elementary, Atwater FEES WAIVED ECFE Classes are offered to all parents and preschool children free of charge if finances are a problem. When you register, check waive fee. No one will be turned away for inability to pay. The problem-solving approach turns statements into questions. For example, instead of telling your child to: “Ask nicely for the toy,” ask, “What can you do or say so your brother will let you play with his truck?” Sometimes that’s all a parent needs to ask. Another approach to telling a child, “I feel angry when. . .,” would be to ask your child, “How do you think I feel when.?” These examples of statements involve your child in a genuine two-way conversation. With this two-way conversation, in order to respond to the question asked, the child must also learn to listen. This is a problem-solving approach because it requires the child to participate.
