What'S the Problem? : A Story Teaching Problem Solving

Blake wants to sell his brother, Braden, to another family. Savannah wants to fight Mary over an insult. Braden so wants to sneak out of class to play football. The characters in this fast-paced story face conundrums that make each of them consider solutions that are inappropriate, ill-advised or irresponsible. Fortunately, some good old-fashioned fatherly advice coupled with a tried-and-tested strategy for solving problems keeps everyone safe and satisfied. This story introduces and encourages readers to use SODAS (Situation, Options, Disadvantages, Advantages and Solution) as a way to logically and thoughtfully work out how to solve any problem, from the silly to the serious. WHAT''S THE PROBLEM? adds to the wildly popular Executive FUNction book series, which includes What Were You Thinking? and My Day is Ruined! The series skilfully weaves skill teaching into humorous storylines to help readers become flexible thinkers, problem solvers and self-managers.
