October Activities #4

PinWins Decisiveness Discovery Book helps children explore decision-making and develop the confidence to trust their own judgement. Through fun, hands-on activities, children can make a decision-making wheel, act out tricky moments, create a Calm Kit and explore how their values can influence the choices they make. Along the way, they’ll discover different ways to approach decisions, practice problem-solving and build essential life skills to help them make thoughtful choices. Suitable for ages 5–14.
