Choose Your Path: Training Kids to Be Decisive | Episode 445
Are you robbing your children of the chance to make decisions? Dr. Roger Smith emphasizes that decisiveness is a critical character trait that must be developed through practice. Using the simple example of choosing between two paths, he explains why parents must intentionally provide opportunities for decision-making—even small ones, like choosing the color of a cup. Learn how to let your children face the low-impact consequences of their choices (like in board games) and how to talk them through potential outcomes without rescuing them from mild discomfort. This training builds the capacity to navigate life's complex options.
