"What's the Problem?" A story teaching problem-solving by Bryan Smith Read Aloud

Sometimes kids have difficulty considering their options before acting in emotionally-charged situations. This book gives them ideas for how to tackle these situations using a framework of problem-solving including coming up with potential solutions, thinking through the pros and cons, and collaboratively coming up with a solution to try. Referring back to this framework during times when kids have difficulty picking an appropriate choice/action can help them realize that there are multiple reasonable options in any situation, and to pause to think through the advantages and disadvantages rather than acting on the emotion.
