This one is so special that I'm going to read it next week as my Intro to the Counselor pick. We're going to discuss it. And then solve a problem together.
And since I really think you're going to add this one to your collection, I'm not going to tell you much. Just enough to whet your appetite. You see, he didn't want the problem. Didn't invite it, didn't ask for it. He wants it to go away, to get lost. He finds out pretty quickly, however, that the age-old adage

Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back blogging! I was wondering what age you were planning to use this with and what problem you will solve together in he lesson?
Thanks !
I'm using this treasure with grades 3-5; the new counselor at Westwood next door is using it in grades K-2! I've added a picture and a link above so you can see which problem I'm challenging them to solve!
