Colorcards®: Problem Solving - 48 Cards

This is set of 48 photographic cards are from the popular Colorcard® range.

Each features an everyday problem in context and two possible ways of solving them. There are three cards in each sequence: the first shows the problem and the second shows a possible solution. The third card introduces an alternative way of dealing with the problem depicted.

Examples include: 

• car broken down - try to repair it, asks where to get help
• woman is unhappy as overweight - tries healthy eating, exercise
• child is unhappy and bored - woman comforts her, woman takes her out
• girl doesn't like her meal - leaves it, talks to the waiter
• man cannot sleep - has a hot drink, reads a book
• woman and girl argue - they sulk, they make up.

Problem Solving is a unique and efficient visual aid because it shows that some of the ways in which we deal with our difficulties are more effective than others. It does this through a highly successful visual format showing a range of problems, some of which need to be solved immediately and others that are not so time sensitive. Designed so that children will identify with many of the situations shown, these cards will be useful for:

• Understanding the need to approach problems logically
• Realising that problems may influence later events
• Learning that some solutions may not please everyone involved
• Appreciating that feelings can influence the choices we make

Ideal for use in the clinic or classroom for either educational or therapeutic activities.
