ABSTRACT
The teaching of problem-solving skills directly helps students to build resilience for when things go wrong. A structured problem-solving model provides students with a process to follow, so when an event occurs they have the skills to be able to stop, think and then work through a process to solve the problem. The end outcome is the style of parenting produces children who have no problem-solving skills at all, because they have never had to solve a problem. By teaching a problem-solving skills model and providing the opportunity to use it, students learn to solve problems for themselves. Part of the learning for students is how to solve the problem in a structured manner. Learning how to solve problems can create an enthusiasm for learning for students, due to them knowing how to work through challenges and having the skills to tackle problems that are presented as a part of learning.
