Asaf Shani

Life Skills Series - Problem Solving or Don't Push Asaf Shani

How do you tackle a 'no'? How do you team up with a friend to mutually find a satisfying solution? In this book - the 10th of the Jade Life Skills Series - Jade learns how to create a door in a wall of refusal. For most people, a 'NO' is more or less the end of the line... we try to convince, we get upset yet, for most people, NO is a wall they are unable to pass. Well, in this book, Jade learns that a NO is the starting point to a process that can yield consent without the need to coerce, struggle or get upset. Inspired by the story of Jerry the fox and his quest for grapes, Dad teaches Jade the 4 steps to resolving any problem and facilitating collaboration. As the rest of the Jade Life Skills Series, also this book takes 'deep' ideas and deliver them in a 'kid's friendly way'. Asaf Shani is an international consultant in the field of confrontational situations. Working with people - worldwide - in the last 20 years, help him gain insights about life skills in general and how to empower one's kids to acquire and use them. This extensive experience along with raising his own two kids (Jade and Andy what else...) are being presented in the Jade's life skills series in a way that kids aged 3 - 5, 7yrs old kids and even young adults can relate to. Yet, not surprisingly, many parents attest that the books have helped them to understand, and hence, better manage the situation in their life. After all, no one really teaches life skills at school... The book can very well fit 'I can read level 1' readers and will definitely fall into the 'children's books by age 3 - 5' category. We're being addressed by many readers with the question: does this book is a 'children's feelings books' or a 'feelings books for children' and, to that we answer with a smile: yep!
