    We’ve got a FANTASTIC, truly helpful article on how to teach kids to solve their own problems — including how to stop yourself from jumping in, when failure is too painful to watch.
     
    My favorite tip? Co-create a 5-step plan where the kid has to do steps 3-5 himself. Click here for the article, over at Let Grow.

      You guys can also check out https://www.theaterinplace.com. It’s not an app but it’s an interactive experience for your kids that can get them into puzzles, problem-solving, and brain teaser games. I tried it as well, some of the puzzles can be a tiny bit challenging to adults as well.
