Ratnesh, what does ur experience say....are kids as small as 3 yrs capable of deciding for themselves??
i have tried it in simple day to day things....like ask him if he would like to have chapati or rice and he tells his choice.
but when it comes to 2 unpleasant choices ,he will just run away n completely ignore me!
but i read it somewhere that u should keep the options ready for them n let them decide and grdually then work out the options as well with them .
what do u have to say on this??
