The ability to make choices

Yesterday (February 21) Ajani's mom took out a coloring book and ask " would you like to crayon? He said no puzzle . His mother asked would you like to do a puzzle ,extending his language. He  said yes. He walked over to the bin and get the puzzle that he wants to do. He is clearly learning how to make decisions . This skill is critical to have because as he gets older and is interacting with a number of children he must have that ability to think, and  make decisions. The roots of making decisions begins during the infant/toddler years. This skill will help him to choose which group of kids he will hang out with as he gets older. Many kids end up in gangs because they are easily influenced by others. I know that you are saying "my baby is only 2 why should I think about that". We want to help you get it right the first time . It is difficult to revert to stages of brain development.
