Keywords:

Children are not only future citizens but also active contributors to societal growth, making their development a critical area of focus for any nation. A child’s ability to solve problems—whether academic, social, or personal—plays a foundational role in their journey to becoming resilient, adaptable adults. Problem-solving skills, which develop significantly during adolescence, equip individuals to navigate complexities in a fast-paced world and foster lifelong abilities for critical thinking, emotional regulation, and effective decision-making. This paper examines the crucial role of problem-solving in child development, exploring its theoretical foundations, cognitive impact, emotional benefits, and the influence of family, culture, and technology on these skills.
