the influence of emotions on making choices.

Every family could use a book to educate them about emotional intelligence and foster important conversations to help our children grow into healthy adults....and it isn't too late for parents to unlearn and relearn healthier communication skills!

This book provides excellent interactive questions, instigated insightful conversations, and a free pdf with scenarios requiring the reader to decide which choice to make.

Fantastic guide for kids!!

The audiobook does an excellent job of addressing the emotional aspects of decision-making. It recognises that making decisions, especially for adults, can be difficult. My family was moved by the gentle reminders about learning from mistakes and viewing decision-making as a journey rather than a destination.

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. I appreciate how the book fosters not just the mechanics of good decision-making but also the emotional intelligence behind it. We both cherished the interactive questions, they instigated insightful conversations. This audiobook didn’t just teach my daughter how to make smarter decisions, it gave us a platform for deeper connection. Highly recommend for parents looking to equip their kids with a balanced decision-making toolkit!

It Supplies valuable information to help kids cope with making important decisions. For example: kids who experience negative peer pressure were advised to seek support from adults who will provide good guidance and support by addressing their concerns.Also, it impress upon kids that it is important that they should not compromise their values and they should not give in to peer pressure. Kids were encouraged to make decisions based on their values in order to experience a happy future. The author teaches the values of honesty, integrity and accountability. The book allows kids to understand that good decision leads to personal growth and a happy lifestyle. In addition, bad decisions leads to consequences that weighs heavily on one's heart.

The power of making the right choices

We live in a world where we must make multiple daily decisions. Even as an adult, this can sometimes be challenging. I wish we had had a few lessons about decision-making at school. This audiobook carefully broke down each element of the decision-making process. It was a nice bonus to get an accompanying pdf containing real-life scenarios requiring the reader to decide which choice to make based on the knowledge gained within the audiobook.
