The following press release was issued by the Office of Justice Programs on May 10. Previous research has indicated that children's antisocial behaviors and poor peer relations are frequently related to a lack of problem-solving skills. When we teach and reinforce problem-solving skills to our children while they are very young, we can prevent behavior that becomes destructive to youth and their communities.
Teachers use games, roleplaying and examining real-life situations.
These youth also showed improved behavior and social skills.
