Flip Educational Consulting: Helping kids with problem solving

By Sarah Lindenfeld Hall

Posted: July 31, 2012

Tags: Parenting, Mom's Life

Edla Prevette and Elizabeth Worley of Flip Educational Consulting offer a final tip this month on helping grade schoolers develop social skills.

Today, Prevette talks about problem solving - an important skill for the playground and life.

"We do a lot with learning to compromise and being flexible," she tells me. "It can be a really easy thing for them to do or a really challenging thing for them to do."

Watch the video for more information.

Prevette and Worley are long-time teachers and counselors who started Flip Educational Consulting a couple of years ago. Read more about them in my earlier post. And check the box above for more tips from them.

Flip offers summer camps and programs for kids, along with workshops for parents, teachers and others who work with children.

For more information about what they offer, check their website.

Thank you Edla and Elizabeth for all the great tips!
