Description

Developing solid decision-making skills is a fundamental milestone for children as they learn to navigate the world and all the choices in it.

Simply said, Waffle Can't Decide is a super relatable and engaging story about making decisions and being decisive. Blue socks! Red socks! Striped socks! Within a swirl of indecisiveness, Waffle just can't decide what to do! And suddenly everything turns into a deciding disaster!

Every day we need to all make all kinds of decisions. Some are easy so we don't need to think about them much. Others are tough and we need time to ponder. Decisions are important for bringing us joy, and they are crucial for survival. Everyday we make observations about the color of sky, the sound of waves, the smell of flowers, the taste of honey, but decision-making is more cerebral and abstract. As young brains develop, understanding how the brain thinks and chooses will help children better navigate the world and all the choices in it.

Reviews

This sympathetic, bibliotherapeutic story, written by a clinical pediatric neuropsychologist, will resonate with children who have problems making decisions. Parents will appreciate both the narrative and the closing note, the latter providing clear, useful guidance and tips for caregivers. The images of anthropomorphic foodstuffs--with cartoonishly large bodies perched atop skinny legs--leaven a serious topic. Readers will have no difficulty in deciding to read this book; it's a good, helpful choice. -- "Kirkus Reviews"
