the problem in a neutral way that doesnt blame the other person. Focusing on the first step of the

them the poster of a picture that shows two young children arguing. I will then explain the picture, and
say something about how problem solving occurs in our everyday lives.

notebooks and have them write the step we went over, and then have them create a problem, and a
way that they can solve that problem.
