I Can Problem Solve Refresher


Jog your memory

Let’s review:

•ICPS Goal & Focus

•Key Components

•Benefits for children

•Dialoguing


Goal of ICPS

To teach children thinking skills that can be used to help resolve or prevent “people” problems.


Focus of ICPS Teaches children how to think,

not what to think

Guides children in thinking for themselves

Teaches children how to evaluate their own ideas

Encourages children to come up with solutions to problems on their own


Key Components of ICPS Vocabulary Words

Feelings—most important question in dialoguing: “How do you feel when…?”

Alternatives—coming up with solutions: “Can you think of something different to do when…?”

Consequences—develop empathy through awareness of other’s feelings: “What might happen if…?”, “Is _____ a good idea or not a good idea?”


Benefits for ChildrenBuilds self-confidence and listening skills

Encourages thinking about new and different solutions to problems

Encourages positive social interaction

ability to wait ability to cope with frustration

impulsivity social withdrawal


What is dialoguing? parent/teacher guides the

child in applying ICPS concepts to solve a real-life problem.

helps children try again if their first attempt to solve a problem fails

helps children learn to cope with frustration when they don’t get what they want immediately

Dialoguing is a communication skill


Basic Principles of ICPS Dialoguing

1. Child and parent/teacher must identify the real problem.

2. Each must understand and deal with the problem.

3. Once the real problem is identified, the parent/teacher must not alter it to meet his/her own needs.

4. The child, not the parent/ teacher, must solve the problem. The focus is on how the child thinks, not what he/she thinks.


We want to help children, parents and teachers

“move up the ladder”

Think about it…

Write it down. Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; can’ts into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality. Don’t just think about it – ink it. -Anonymous

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. -Frederick Douglas
