Choosing scenarios to create for the Challenge Software Program is one of the most challenging things about this project. We continue to look for common issues that children struggle with. The next 3 scenarios to be released in the Spring of '09 will target Self-image, Peer Rejection, and Impulse control. Responding in a healthy way in these situations can be tough for anyone, but practice equals preparation.
One issue regarding the scenarios that may need some clarification is the fact that we will never be able to create a scenario for every situation. That is part of the beauty of this program. It is great if we have scenarios that fit with the exact issue the child is struggling with, but what we are really trying to do is teach children that they are an active participant in their life and have a great deal of power of their responses to events that take place around them, no matter what the situation might be.
