So by now you're probably wondering what is it exactly that makes someone a problem-solving kid. First, let's talk about what they're not. There several common attitudes that can get in the way of effective problem solving. While the following characters may sound like caricatures of real people, I bet these non-problem-solving kids also sound pretty familiar.

Miss Sigh is the kind of person who gives up immediately when ever she faces even the smallest challenge. She just sighs and says, "I'll never be able to do that."

Instead of speaking up or taking action, she sits around feeling sorry for herself.Source : Problem Solving 101 by KEN WATANABE
