Easiest of the 7 1/2 Habits

Habit 3: View problems as challenges is an area that I have had to work on over time. As I was first starting out my teaching career as a Kindergaten aide I came across situations that I considered problems and would fly off the handle (not in front of the students of course) and had to learn how to deal with what came my way. My cooperating teacher said it best when she siad that you have to go with the flow and not let the little things upset you. Take everything as a learning experience and use your previous problems as a way to avoid the situation in the future. Learn from your mistakes and keep a watchful eye out for challenges that may come your way and try to figure out how to solve them.
