I am having a hard time understanding WHY people take credit for ideas that are not theirs. I work, where we work as a team,and we work with people who are in crisis all the time, so we have to come up with soluations all the time. I have been finding that there are a couple of co workers are claiming that my soluations are theirs. I am becoming quite frustated with this, as in the end the big boss is praising them, It is not that I want the praise , because I am there to help our clients. I just don't think that it is right that this is right. I am of the believe that " give credit where credit is due " These 2 co works are having a hard time coming up with their own ideas so they take mine. I now feel that I should keep my mouth shut on sharing my ideas, and just talk to the boss about them. The problem is, if I do that, there is no such thing as team work anymore. Any good ideas or suggestions on how I shoud handle this.

Read the book "48 laws of power" by Robert Greene. You need to be more strategic about releasing your knowledge. Get yourself in a position to debut your "solutions" in front of the right audience. Don't confide or divulge to the general public. You'll always have people waiting to take credit for things they did not do themselves.

If someone in your team is stealing your ideas, you do not have a team at this time, just a couple of Parasites, taking credit for what you do. If it is possible for you to tell your boss about your ideas, then by all means do it.
There is nothing lower than a con man or woman or a plagiarist. Put your ideas in writing, so you will have a record.

In front of your boss or at a meeting ask them to go into a little more detail on how and when they came up with the idea and the benefits it affords the company

Not exactly teamwork when you are the only one playing the game....or at least abiding by the rules. Don't share maybe then the boss will notice and your co-workers will be replaced.

when you give the boss a idea, it should be in written form outlining the idea....date it and add who was involved in the brainstorming.[ and everyone involved gets a copy for their records.
then submit the idea to your boss... that should stop the games in your job.
