Lyrics
I keep on working till I figure it out, figure it out, figure it out.
I keep on working till I figure it out.
I'm gonna find a way.
I might have to do it again and again.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
I might have to do it again and again.
I'm gonna find a way.
I might have to turn it inside out, inside out, inside out.
I might have to turn it inside out.
I'm gonna find a way.
Tips for Parents
Ask your child about hypothetical problems and praise them for problem solving.
"If I spilled milk on the floor, what could I do?"
"If someone took my toy, what could I do?
"If I was feeling sad inside, what could I do?"
Act like machines pumping your arms like pistons (you'll notice machine-like sounds in the background of this song).
Have this song softly playing in the background while engaging in challenging tasks.
In A Pickle - Place problems faced during the day in a jar. Pull a problem out of the pickle problem jar and brainstorm solutions along with the child.
Brain-Teasers - Asking questions stretches children's thinking to "turning things inside out."
How many ways can you get a ball inside a basket?
How do you scratch your back?
