TO DO Some decisions you make aren't terribly important. For example, you might decide to have chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. But other decisions may involve a choice between right and wrong, and sometimes it's not easy to know what to do. If you still can't decide, talk it over with someone you trust and respect. Children learn to think about whether something is right or wrong before making a choice.
Children learn guidelines for deciding what's the right thing to do.
Children learn that there's an important difference between doing what's right and doing what they can get away with. I t's a lazy summer day, and Rhonda and Fiona have nothing to do. They'd like to go to the water park, but they don't have any money. Then they find a wallet on the playground, and suddenly things look brighter. There's enough money in the wallet to buy them a great time.
