Problem Solving Process Problem solving can be used when a problem or issue arises. I have currently been going through a behavioral issue with my son that has been distressing me. I am separated from my son's mother and ordered by the attorney general to see him every other weekend with the exception of holidays. The shared parenting has made it harder for me to help my son with his behavior issues that he has developed at home with his mother. In this paper I will cover the problem solving process that I have taken to improve my son's bad behavior at home and at school. I was able to distinguish between the problems and issues from my son's behavior. The situation is an issue because it also involves partisan involvement from school staff and future involvement of professionals. How can I find an effective treatment to fix my son's behavioral issues that he is experiencing at home and at school? I have begun to research effective therapies that I have learned through the completed courses from my human services field of study. An effective treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy or also known as CBT. I am also taking tips from my girlfriend who is an early childhood graduate. In addition, I am also using strategies that I learned from working at a behavioral treatment center. The solution to my son's behavioral issue is to effectively combine the cognitive behavioral therapy with the information acquired from my girlfriend's profession and my personal experience from work. The CBT will help my son understand the patterns that he follows in his bad behavior at home with his mother and with me. CBT will give him a self reflection of who he is and in return will allow him to arrange his options in decision making. The help from my girlfriend will help me assess him
