Giving Children Choices Part Three
When I was raising my two boys, I was learning about giving choices. One winter's day, we took a walk in Washington Crossing State Park. It was here I decided to practice my new skill.
"OK, guys, we can take this trail or that trail. What's your choice?"
"Do you want to rest now, or shall we keep going?"
In the last blog post, I talked about how giving children choices gives them some sense of power and control in their lives. Remember, children all day long are being told what to do. By providing children small choices in their lives, they feel that they have some say or some ability to make decisions independently.
It starts with one. It starts with you. You can be the one to change a life. A child right here in your community is in need of support and a safe place to live. You can be the one to provide help and change a life.
