ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Decision making

Decision making is when we have to make a choice between different options. It's like trying to pick the best flavor of ice cream, but it can be about anything, like what to wear or what toy to play with.

When we make a decision, we have to think about what we want, what we need, and what is important to us. We have to look at all the choices we have and think about the consequences of each one. For example, if we want to go outside and play but it's raining, we have to think about whether we want to get wet or stay inside.

Sometimes making a decision can be hard because we want different things or we don't know what to do. When this happens, it's a good idea to ask for help from someone we trust, like a parent or teacher. They can help us think about the options and make a good decision.

Making decisions is an important skill to have because we have to make choices all the time. By thinking carefully and choosing wisely, we can make our lives better and happier.
