Abstract
Well in this being the last paper we are dealing with the idea of problem solving there where many scenarios that looked really good, but I thought this one was the best mainly because I have been one of the parent who goes to the store and sees other parents buying projects for their children instead of the kidos doing that project themselves. So first I’ll give the perimeters of what I will be going through then I will state my little problem and we can go from there on the possible ideas and solutions for this little dilemma. The basic line that I am going to follow is that of the same …show more content…

The truth is he would be very excited, and dive right into it. He starts gathering materials, researching on the net, and putting things together. Well as he is doing all this I give a once over of the assignment, and realize that some of the steps he forgotten to do and some he has just skipped over. Well when reading an article in parent magazine I noticed a section on how child development of responsibility for learning on their own. I would like to encourage, his confidence in being able to do the project on his own. So the next day while I was in the grocery store I see parents form my sons home room buying supplies and taking the day off work, so should I help or let my son do this on his own. So I would have to say that the problem that exists here is whether or not to take over a project, or just let my son do this his way, or help and assist.

Reluctantly he goes about the project and we complete it together. In reflection was it the right decision yes. Because he has learned some valuable lessons here. One is that he can accomplish anything when he puts his mind to it. And his imagination and independence has grown. However when he needs help he doesn’t have to be afraid to ask for it. Which is a good trait to have in my opinion. I know this was a scenario but it is one that I have lived through, and valued so much because not only did I teach something, but I made long steps in the problems that eventually help me overcome a lot of things. Problem solving is one thing I have had to learn outside and on my own. Thank you for reading my little bit of excerpt from my life as it is applied to problem
