This episode of LOVE Language challenges the traditional "authoritarian mindset" of discipline and explores the concept of "The Good Choice Mindset" inspired by Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere.

We move beyond the limitations of "what" we teach our children and shift the focus to empowering them with "good choices" that nurture their identity development. By offering children choices, we allow them to explore who they are and make decisions that shape their self-concept. Helping children discover their passions and interests through "good choices" fosters a sense of purpose fueled by personal connections and intrinsic motivation.

We discuss how a "Good Choice Mindset" can benefit both parents and educators, encouraging them to:

• Reframe "No": Can a positive choice be offered instead?
• Expand Options: Are there ways to create a broader range of "good choices" for youth?
• Empower Through Choice: How can we use "good choices" to foster independence and responsibility in children and adolescents?

By moving away from a focus on control, this episode equips listeners with strategies to raise and educate children who are empowered to make "good choices" that build a strong sense of self and a purpose-driven life.
