To understand the specific behaviors causing harm, assess the impact, and address the root of the issue effectively.
List the first 4 steps in Logical Analysis.
(1) confirm the task; (2) identify the problem(s); (3) determine the “Critical Factor”; (4) develop alternate solutions
What does the term "Critical Factor" mean in problem-solving?
It is the overriding issue on which all other problems depend and must be addressed first to form a successful plan.
In this scenario, what could be considered the critical factor?
The critical factor is balancing the parents' instructions with maintaining a positive relationship with the child.
In this scenario, what could be considered the critical factor?
The critical factor is stopping the bully’s harmful behavior while maintaining trust with the victim and addressing the friendship dynamic.
List the last 4 steps in Logical Analysis.
(5) compare alternatives; (6) determine the best solution; (7) implement the solution; and (8) evaluate the plan and the implementation
After developing alternate solutions, what criteria should the team use to compare them?
Simplicity, safety, flexibility, economical use of resources, and effectiveness in solving the critical factor.
What are some alternate solutions to keep the child entertained without using the iPad?
Possible alternatives include playing one of your inside games, telling stories, doing crafts, or organizing a small scavenger hunt.
What are some alternate solutions to handle this situation?
Possible solutions include mediating a conversation between the bully and the victim, reporting the bullying to an authority figure, or setting clear boundaries with your friend.

(1) Was the solution a good one? (2) Was the plan to implement the solution a success? (3) What can we do to improve the plan or the implementation for the next time? (4) What lessons were learned?
What steps should the team take to evaluate the implementation of a solution after solving the problem?
The team should assess the solution’s success, examine what worked and what didn’t, identify lessons learned, and suggest improvements for future implementation.
After implementing your chosen solution, how could you evaluate whether it was successful?
Reflect on whether the child stayed engaged without the iPad, if the parents' instructions were followed, and if the child felt happy and cared for.
