About decisions.org

For most of our existence, deciding is a daily, if not minute-by-minute process. Through trial and error as children, in making decisions, we receive positive and negative feedback when we make good and bad choices. For many years, however, parents are the principal decisions-makers for their offspring.

This non-profit site is dedicated to helping young people make life decisions that are not just impulsive decisions or bad decisions. Good decision-making is a blend of being instructed properly, and learning — over time — the correct choices to make. Acting impulsively often ends with a negative result. That learning process can be a building block for a person’s decision matrix, moving forward with his or her future.

As children, making decisions for ourselves is rare, since our parents “call the shots” in our early years. Overall, parental decision-making is primarily targeted to protecting those who are too young to decide on their own. Over time, almost all parents and grandparents will do what they can to inform and educate their offspring on how to make good decisions. This is an essential part of surviving and succeeding in life.
