Making Good Choices

What happens when a child makes poor choices or is unable to practice self-control in stressful situations? The child feels regret. Guilt. Embarrassment. Even confusion. Their entire world turns upside down. Such is the case for protagonist Emily Vern, in “Madison is Possibly, Probably, Positively GUILTY.” Despite her poor choices, she eventually understands that each choice is a learning moment, a chance to consider her choices and to choose better. Three tools to make good choices are wisdom, intuition, and sometimes, creativity. Can you think of others?
