It is easy for both parent and child to let this slip, so set a date and keep it!

• Find out what was done
• Was it successful?
• Does the problem still exist?

If the problem still exists, praise your child for working through the process. Help him analyze what went wrong. Have him choose another solution and try again. If the solution was successful, praise and reward your child.

How to avoid problems in this step:

• Don't skip the evaluation. It is an important step to reinforce the benefits of this process.
• Don't give up if the first try at solving this problem fails. Try another solution.
• Remember to praise your child for working through the process.
