Since I’m trying so hard to be independent, I probably won’t like it as much when you decide everything for me. I’m starting to learn that I’m my own person and that I might not always like what you pick for me. Give me simple choices at this age – things like choosing between two different shirts to wear, two choices for snack, or two choices of activity. I’ll enjoy getting to pick for myself, and by giving me choices, you’ll help prevent me from tantrumming when I feel like I’ haven’t gotten what I’ve wanted.
