Why Choices Are 4x More Likely to Grow Self Starting.
Choice Theory is based on the idea that many individual choices make up a meaningful life. These choices allow us to feel fulfilled and impactful as humans.
A Choice Board gives choice a framework to choose without overwhelming the chooser.
In school, students need to learn that there are limitless choices and that choosing something is the best option. With school shifting to a STEM & STEAM focus we are seeing this come up more and more where kids need to be told what to do as opposed to self starting. This is why the framework of a Choice Board helps educators and parents give healthy choice options.
Choice In Kids (Grades 2-4)
Yes, kids love choice. Every day might seem like an unlimited number of micro choices in a day.

Giving Choice Board options allows
- Help diffuse anxious situations with predetermined “choices”
- Learn how to structure choices in a healthy way.
- Build a relationship that allows you to make more difficult choices.
- Cut down on “Fighting” feedback
