My Tween is Now a Choice-Maker

I recently dived into “Smart Choices: Decision Making for Kids” with my 11-year-old daughter and it's genuinely enriched our evenings together. The real-world examples mentioned are not only relatable but sparked lively discussions between us, making the decision-making process a less daunting venture for her. She's begun evaluating her choices more critically, especially noticeable when dealing with her allowance which was a pleasant surprise. The narration was engaging, adding a nice touch to the well-structured content, making our listening experience enjoyable. What resonated most was the segment on understanding the influence of emotions on making choices.
