| Abstract: | Children seem to be natural problem solvers and delight in the challenges that are provided for them. Teachers who are careful observers of what children do can begin to provide many opportunities for helping them build their skills in problem solving. At the same time, it is important to let children create and solve some of their own newly discovered problems. A balance of both seems to be important to solving problems.Janis Bullock is Instructor of Early Childhood Education at Montana State University in Bozeman. |
