Tool #22. Ask for solutions

Difficulty: Advanced Type: Guidance Ages: 4-18
Definition:

Example:
bulletOk, Emily (12 years), you broke the window. What are some of the things you can do now to solve this problem? After some discussion Emily suggests (and her father agrees) to purchase the glass from her small savings and replace the window with her father's help. (restitution)
