Write a 100- to 150- word reflection about this process. How did this process help you devise a solution? How can you use this process with future problems? Will this work for all problems you face? Why or why not?
I feel that is process help me and my family out just because we were able to way the pro and cons for the children and what was best for them. I am a frim beliver that doing what is best and what makes them comfortable for my children. When thinking about waking earlier and making sure things are done the night before and getting everyone in the bed at a good hour to wake up at 5:15am. With everything going on in life I feel that you have to way ever option out before youmake a big change on things.
