Children Making Decisions
February 6, 2012
If you have made a mistake . . . there is always another chance for you. . . . You may have a fresh start at any moment you choose, for this thing called 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Here are some questions that Hillman offers if you are considering promoting decision-making by the children in your center:
- How do you establish an expectation for young children to feel capable of making decisions?
- How can you simplify decision-making choices so they are appropriate for young children?
- Have you considered the technique of answering a question with a question in order to promote decision-making?
- Can you admit to the children that on occasion you have made a 'wrong decision' and need to change your mind?
- How will you communicate to parents about the importance you give to decision-making, so there will be consistency and carryover into the home?

We also need to remember that independent decision making is a middle class western value. How do you find ways to support this that are also respectful of different value/cultural belief systems?
