Check understanding
- Describe at least two options when facing a decision
- Predict a likely consequence for each option
- Explain which option they chose and why, showing they considered the consequences
“When your child faces a tricky choice — like whether to tell the teacher that a friend cheated — can they think through their options and the consequences rather than just reacting?”
