Second Step - During the last quarter of the school year Team Lincoln will focus on problem solving. Effective problem solving means your child is learning to handle conflicts in calm, respectful ways. They practice managing their emotions, talking about problems without blame, and understanding how others feel. With these skills, they can think of solutions and choose the best way to work through disagreements and build positive relationships. Learn how you can support this at home!
