Looking for an example?
If you’re the kind of person who loves to put a bookshelf together with the instructions provided in the box, then you’ll have everything you need when you download the tool using the link above.
But, if you prefer to watch YouTube videos to see someone else do it first, then you’ll appreciate my HPS Video Tutorial.
And you’re in good company.
Nearly everyone I’ve shared the Hourglass Problem Solving chart with has said…
“I love this, thank you! I definitely want to use it. But, do you have any kind of example? Like a chart that you already filled out that I could see? Or, a video of you using this process? I feel like that would be really helpful for me to see first.”
So, that’s why I recorded my son and I using the Hourglass Problem Solving chart to talk through a frustrating (and sometimes dangerous!) experience we were having around time with friends. Your challenge or conflict will likely be different, and your solution will be unique, but the process through the hourglass is the same.
Here’s a glimpse at what’s included in this HPS Video Tutorial.
Video 1
In this first video, you'll learn how a simple tool can help you to transform conflict and challenging conversations with your child from something you grit your teeth through to a source of pride.
Video 2
In this second video, you get to observe as my son and I use the HPS chart to talk through our challenge. You can also download a copy of our completed form.
Video 3
In the final video, we walk through the HPS process step-by-step so you can focus on how it will transform your next conflict into a chance to connect.
I kept this course brief because I know you’re busy. In total, the video length is about an hour. And since I’ve split things up over three videos, you can spread that out or breeze through it all at once.
And when you purchase the course, you get the chart for free!
Why?
Because Hourglass Problem Solving is a completely different way to approach conflict and conversation with our kids. It creates an environment most of us have been missing: Space to truly understand where the other person is coming from and to work together toward a new solution that feels good to you both.
I want to make it as easy as possible for you to see this transformation happen so you recognize the potential for yourself and your own family.
You also gain a deeper understanding through the course about why the tool works, and how it supports you to build your child’s social-emotional development in more than seven areas.
