Course overview
Lesson Overview
7.9 – Encouraging Children to Weigh Options: Good decisions start with thoughtful comparisons. Teach your child to list a few possible choices. Discuss what might happen with each one. Ask which option feels fair, safe, and respectful. Encourage listening to both logic and feelings. Write or draw choices to make them clearer. Avoid rushing the process—pause for reflection. Praise effort to think before acting. Review how the final choice turned out. Weighing options turns impulsive choices into wise habits.
