Description

Teasing, theft and the need for privacy are just a few of the interpersonal issues children need to be able to handle. These new books introduce problem-solving techniques, including:
— Brainstorming possible solutions;
— Anticipating how each action will affect others; and
— Selecting the best solution for the situation.Each story presents several alternatives for readers to consider. Every choice leads to a different ending. Kids can decide whether they like how the story turns out — or whether they want to go back and try another way of solving the problem. The stories also give adults an opportunity to ask children what other solutions they can suggest.When something disappears out of your lunch box or your locker or your desk every day, you’d like to say, No big deal. But even minor theft is a big deal to kids. Amy’s Disappearing Pickle shows children several different ways of ending an annoying problem. Like all Kids Can Choose books, this story about theft emphasizes brainstorming solutions and evaluating each option before taking action. With guidance and practice, children can use the techniques in the book to solve their own problems.
