Song 05: A Song for Seeking Solutions between Parents and Children

[Intro]

Welcome to the dojo of the mind

Where solutions of a different kind

Is why you may be listenin’

Why you may want to find

What’s here waiting to be found

So let’s get to it to break it down...

[Verse 1]

In the dojo learning day by day

Old school thinkin’? Nah, we found a better way

Top-down solutions? That ain't how we play

We collaborate to solve, that's what I'm here to say

Instead of force with force, we learn to flow

Create the space for young minds to grow

Like martial arts, we redirect the energy

Turnin’ resistance to synergy, check the strategy

No more "because I said so," that's played out

Time to give these young minds a different route

Build decision skills, for internal motivation

Providin’ blueprints, to build their foundation

[Chorus]

Flow with the problem, don't fight it (don't fight)

Seek solutions together, unite it (united)

Like water findin’ its way through (way through)

That's how we solve problems, true (true)

Flow with the problem, that's the key (the key)

So solutions come naturally (naturally)

When we put our minds as one (as one)

Watch how the problems come undone

[Bridge]

In the mornin’ rush, we map it out

Homework struggles? Lend a hand, no doubt

Sibling conflicts? Hold that family meetin’

Every problem's just a chance for teachin’

We don't need perfect, we just need progress

Small steps forward, that's what we stress

[Verse 2]

Got the solution seeker's toolkit in hand

What-if game got the possibilities planned

Solution scale weighin’ every choice

Givin’ every perspective its own voice

Trial period, test how it flows

Success journal trackin’ how it goes

No rush to fix it, let it breathe

Perfect solutions? Nah, that's not what we need

Buildin’ muscles in problem-solvin’ ways

Critical thinkin’ for better days

Self-regulation starts to grow

Confidence Risin’, watch it flow

[Chorus]

Flow with the problem, don't fight it (don't fight)

Seek solutions together, unite it (united)

Like water findin’ its way through (way through)

That's how we solve problems, true (true)

Flow with the problem, that's the key (the key)

So solutions come naturally (naturally)

When we put our minds as one (as one)

Watch how the problems come undone

[Verse 3]

In the dojo, saw it work for real

Kids creating systems, that's the deal

Rotation system for partner drills

Worked better than my own skills

'Cause they owned it, they created

Solutions elevated when participated

That's the wisdom from the ancient way

Bringin’ it fresh to the modern day

Choose your challenge, set the time

Use the framework, let it shine

Celebrate attempts, not just the wins

That's where real growth begins

[Outro]

Remember family...

The best solutions?

Are the ones we find together

In the dojo of life

Keep it flowin’

Keep it growin’

That's the solution seeker's way...

At least till we find a better way…

So embrace a better way…

So you can have a better day…

(A Better Way…)

(A Better Way…)

(For a Better Day…)
