Smart Decisions
Every day, your children face choices that shape their character—and how you guide them through decision-making now determines the quality of choices they'll make when you're not around.
From small daily choices like what to wear or eat, to bigger decisions about friends, activities, and values, children need frameworks for making good decisions independently. This isn't about controlling every choice, but teaching decision-making processes that serve them throughout life.
