This book teaches children and their educators some simple, evidence-based strategies to make change easier.As they stroll through the forest, Mr. Monkey and Ms. Elephant encounter different characters facing different problems, from Mrs. Squirrel who wants to cross a stream to Mr. Bear who wants to be loved. Both Mr. Monkey and Ms. Elephant have good intentions and try to help their friends. Mr. Monkey uses a traditional problem solving approach, whereas Ms. Elephant uses a solution-focused approach, and it is the latter that saves the day.A page of commentary aimed at educators, which includes quotes, key concepts and additional references, accompanies each of the 9 short stories for children from 5th grade and up. This is one of the few attempts made so far to popularize solution-focused practice, an innovative and radically different approach to change and to problem solving. Coaches, consultants and managers, in addition to therapists, are increasingly using Solution-Focused practices to deliver value to their clients quickly and effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paolo Terni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0985592001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985592004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paolo Terni Briefcoachingsolutions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.08d","brand":"Paolo Terni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48992029409535,"sku":"9780985592004","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mr-bear-wants-to-be-paolo-terni-9780985592004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
