10 Parent Tips: Help Your Child Make Confident Choices
  1. Use the chorus to make routines (like choosing clothes or snacks) less stressful and more playful.
  2. Limit options to two or three. Too many choices can overwhelm sensitive or anxious kids.
  3. If your child is stuck, let the jar pick! Write choices on slips of paper and turn decision-making into a game.
  4. Praise their trying—not just “correct” decisions. Say, “Great job thinking it through!”
  5. Role-play with toys or practice decisions when the pressure is low to build their confidence.
  6. “It’s okay to feel nervous about making a choice. Alice did too—and look how she figured it out!”
  7. Narrate your thought process so they can learn by example.
  8. Teach your child to close their eyes, take a deep breath, and think—just like Alice in the song.
  9. Flexibility is a skill! Let them know it's okay to adjust after making a choice.
  10. Offer opportunities to choose in safe situations so they feel trusted and empowered.
