Encourage problem solving through collaboration from "summary" of The Explosive Child by Ross W. Greene, PhD

When adults empower kids by seeking their input and hearing their concerns, they are more likely to be motivated to work together to solve problems. Collaboration is key to finding solutions that work for everyone involved. By encouraging kids to contribute their perspectives and ideas, we are showing them that their voices matter and that their opinions are valued. This helps to build trust and respect in the relationship, creating a more conducive environment for problem-solving. When kids are actively engaged in the problem-solving process, they are more invested in finding a resolution that meets their needs. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership over the solution, making it more likely that they will follow through with the agreed-upon plan. By working together, adults and kids can come up with creative and effective solutions that address the underlying issues causing challenging behaviors. Through collaboration, adults can gain a better understanding of the factors contributing to a child's explosive behavior. By listening to the child's perspective and considering their concerns, adults can identify triggers and stressors that may not have been previously recognized. This insight can help inform the problem-solving process and lead to more targeted interventions that address the root causes of challenging behaviors. Collaboration also promotes a sense of partnership between adults and kids, fostering a positive and supportive relationship. When kids feel that adults are on their side and working with them to find solutions, they are more likely to feel understood and supported. This helps to build a sense of trust and cooperation, paving the way for more effective problem-solving in the future.
