My Choices Matter

With colorful, age-appropriate illustrations, hands-on activities, and a growing toolbox of decision-making skills, My Choices Matter becomes the book a tween keeps coming back to — not because they have to, but because it finally sounds like someone gets it. This isn't a workbook a tween finishes once and forgets. Reflection prompts, affirmations, and honest writing activities turn each page into something worth saving.
