Three Lessons about Choices All Parents Must Help Their Children Learn
Each person’s life is the culmination of a series of choices. After time, food, water, and land, choices are probably the next most valuable resource.
Children often don’t understand this because most don’t get to make many choices. As a result, as children grow older they go through a phase in which they don’t value their ability to choose, don’t know how to choose wisely, and make bad choices.
Therefore, it’s important for parents to help their children learn three critical lessons about choices.
- The ability to choose is a valuable privilege you must earn
- Making good choices today, leads to more choices tomorrow
- If you make bad choices today, tomorrow your choices will be made by someone else.
