According to the research of Rittle-Johns, Saylor, and Swygerty, listening while the child explains the problem's solution is the best method for teaching effective problem-solving. This helps the child to articulate their thought process and encourages reflection on their own strategies. Simply telling the child a solution does not allow for this critical thinking and problem-solving practice. Letting the child talk through the problem to themselves may be useful for some children, but actively listening and engaging in conversation with the child has been shown to be more effective.
