Watch this video where Casey and Reece talk about making choices and decisions.

Hi.

My name is Lily.

I have a Behaviour Support Plan.

I want to talk to you about making decisions.

A decision is when you need to choose between 2 or more things.

Another word for decision is choice.

Small decisions are decisions you make every day.

Some small decisions might be

  • What music you listen to

Big decisions are decisions that might change your life.

Some big decisions are

  • Choosing what to do to after high school
  • Being in a relationship
  • Going on a holiday
  • Choosing where to live

You should talk with people you trust before making a big decision

Think about what happened in your day today.
Did you make any decisions?

You can see the decisions I make on the worksheet.
You can write down your decisions too.
