Isn't choice supposed to be a good thing? Sort of. Just think of what happens every time you turn on the TV. First, there are hundreds of channels to choose from, then there are all those products presented in ads and placed on whatever show we've managed to settle on. And that's just the simple stuff. Choices get much more complicated when your child is out there exploring. Decision-making is one of the most difficult things to learn and can lead to the most pain, joy and disappointment. In fact, the places you'll go are your child's choices. No wonder this theme crops up throughout Oh, the Places You'll Go!
