Book excerpt: Includes CD-Rom 'Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile..teachers, parents and carers worry that the decisions that children and young people make might be unwise or dangerous' - Bertrand Russell 'You'd be hard pushed to find a better decision-making programme than this excellent set of books... This series will undoubtedly kick-start conversation, prod thinking and stimulate classroom debate' - Times Educational Supplement Magazine Decision making is a skill involving both a cognitive and an affective process. The ability to: - recognize the thoughts and feelings; - consider the consequences; - choose the best outcome; is a highly valued facility leading to resilience, achievement and responsibility. The skill can be taught and in these three volumes the authors provide all the materials needed to teach a course on decision making at each age level. The programme provides a menu of stories related to the real life experiences of the young people. Topics are selected to be age appropriate and the series includes: - Stealing; - Lying; - Social behaviours; - Risks; - Justice; - Loss, Grief and Bereavement; - Prejudice; - First love; - Disability; - Leaving home; - Family relationships. The teacher notes indicate 'stopping points' where reflection and discussion is encouraged. A choice of endings is offered or the young people can develop their own ideas about what might happen next. The course can be introduced at any age or used to develop the skills through school life from early years to the teens. Other books in the series include Margaret Collins's First Choices and Phil Carradice's Good Choices

This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early adolescence is a time when students require adult assistance to become accurate and effective decision makers and problem solvers. Because of the fragmented nature of society, the family structure, and the schooling process, schools need to establish a nonthreatening environment in which students can discuss the issues related to growing up. A decision-making course in the middle school can become that program. Results of the first six years of the decision-making course at Elm Place Middle School in Highland Park, Illinois, are described, illustrating a definite positive response on the part of all students. The logistics for designing and implementing such a program in the middle school are discussed. Teaching strategies, projects, and activities are outlined. Sample activities are appended along with sample communications to parents and students. (JD)

Book excerpt: Decision-making is one of the most important executive functioning skills directly connected to self-confidence, motivation, leadership, happiness and success. Independent and responsible decision-making is what differentiates a child from an adult - that's why this skill is so crucial to gain early on. The choices you make between your 13 and 23 years are the building blocks on your path to maturity. It is when your brain adapts to act independently, creating unique mechanisms to serve you throughout your life. In adulthood, each day brings new challenges, problems that need to be solved, and decisions that need to be made. So how can you ensure now that you're making the right steps to prepare yourself for the future? No one is born with the ability to make awesome decisions all the time or with amazing problem-solving abilities. They're skills - not natural talents. The good news is that skills can be learned and adopted. Decide and Solve will help you face your choices head-on and make decisions confidently. Inside, you will discover: The difference between decision-making and problem-solving - and the psychology behind them. The process of decision-making and problem-solving - and how to put it to use. How to take responsibility for your decisions and accountability for your mistakes. How to keep an open mind and be bold when it's needed. You will understand why the adolescent brain approaches decisions differently from adults. You will be empowered to deal with outside pressure to ensure your decisions are your own. You will know what to do when others don't support your choices. You will learn to deal with quick-fix problems and properly ask for support when it gets tough. Note for adults: If you seek advice to help your fast-growing child become more confident and independent, this easy-to-read and down-to-earth guide for teens and young adults contains many ideas. It is a life instruction manual for making rational choices. As a parent, you will also find this an absorbing read, helping you grasp decision-making for teenagers and assist in your own problem-solving. The information in the book is well-adapted for young readers. Bigger font size, useful tips, witty examples, and breathing stops make reading easy and fun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer pressure has been shown to be a prominent component in adolescent decision-making (Iannotti, Bush, & Weinfurt, 1996; Kobus, 1998; Giancola, 2000). Children are increasingly exposed to high-risk situations in which there is little, if any, adult supervision. Their decisions stemming from peer pressure, either overt or perceived have the potential for irreversible consequences. Benthin, Slovic, and Severson (1993) listed risky driving, consumption of alcohol, drugs, and/or tobacco, and sexual behavior as among those activities that potentially do the greatest harm to our youth. In addition to these factors, Fischoff, Crowell, and Kipke (Eds.) (1999) discussed violence among adolescents as contributing to one of the leading causes of death in young people. This study provides illumination into how at-risk youth in a Southern California alternative high school view peer pressure, overt or perceived, and some of the motives and reasons behind why they respond positively/negatively to those pressures. The researcher found, through qualitative methods, that students listed exposure to the media and the friends they associate with, coupled with their lack of experience in decision-making, ignorance of risks, and desire to be accepted (e.g., liked, looked up to, attractive, cool, popular) as aspects of peer pressure. This study should help administrators and educators understand peer pressure from a student perspective, and offer recommendations for helping students cope in their pressured lives.
