Today we started working on the four steps to creating win-win solutions to problems. We watched role plays in which we had to decide what the problem was and whether or not the situation ended with a win-win solution.
Win-win solution: A solution to a social problem where each person feels like their needs and feelings have been considered.
The first step toward creating a win-win solution is to analyze the problem.
Analyze: to think carefully about each part. understand each aspect of the situation.
Questions that help you analyze:
What's the problem?
How do you feel?
What do you want?
Do you need more information?
Tonight: Identify one problem that comes up (it can be a small one). Ask your teen to label it. Together, answer the questions to begin analyzing the problem. Are your answers the same? How are they different?
Example: The problem is that dishwasher is broken and we have some dirty dishes. I feel frustrated and want to know how to fix it. I need to know if it can be fixed right now."
