Choices

When one of my boys, particularly Alex, is having trouble doing something I've asked him to do I say "Make a good choice." The meaning behind it, which they know well, is if they don't make a good choice there will be consequences. Usually it means a reduction in or loss of time to do something they really enjoy. They know "If I make good choices, good things happen." It's simple. It's all about the choices, every little choice we make each day. I'm working hard to help them learn this. It's time I learn it myself.
