Problem-solving skills underpin resilience, hope and agency. They are critical to learning and life success! This video introduces Reboot’s Positive Change Highway as a tool to explicitly teach and support healthy problem-solving and build the hope and agency in children and young people. We address catastrophising, hopelessness and apathy and ways to build and celebrate small wins. The importance of self-regulation and problem-solving skills to childhood resilience is also discussed.
