Collaborative Problem Solving

When a problem touches more than one person, the best solution is almost never one person deciding for everyone. Collaborative problem solving is a calm, fair way to work through a shared issue together — define it, hear all ideas, pick a plan, and check back.

What this lesson teaches

1Define a shared problem in words everyone agrees on
2Brainstorm ideas without judging them too early
3Choose a fair plan everyone can live with
4Set a check-in date to see if the plan is working
