Isaac is a second-grader who hates having to decide between options that are not fun, totally boring, or too hard.
If he wants to ride his bike to a buddy's house, Isaac has to wear his helmet even though it's so hot he thinks his head will melt. Or, he can stay home and be bored. In the lunchroom, he can pick up the trash he dropped on the floor - Yuck! Or, he can pick up ALL the trash littering the floor - Double Yuck!
What will Isaac do when every option he has seems so awful?
What's Your Choice? is an empowering and amusing tale about learning how to make the best decision when your choices all involve things you really don't want to do. Written for young readers in PreK through 5, award-winning author Bryan Smith adds another valuable life lesson to this popular Stepping Up Social Skills book series for children.
Helping children become good decision makers and lifelong problem solvers involves teaching them to choose. Included at the end of the story are tips for parents and educators to reinforce the message of how to make the best choice.
"Making choices isn’t always easy.
Giving two choices allows our students and children to narrow their thinking and decide on something that will meet their needs AND yours.
But being a future thinker and being able to visualize yourself AFTER you make that choice…THAT’s super challenging for some of us. To really think about how we will move through time and space, how we will think and feel, and all the steps that we will take to get to the end of our decision…THAT’s where the teaching comes in.
BUT if we have systems, and if we practice visualizing our future self, then these choices become easier and easier for us to make.
This book is PERFECT for all those educators and parents out there. I promise you will LOVE it!"
