Making decisions is something that all of us have to do all the time.  Making good decisions actually helps you to live a better life and helps your brain stay healthy. 

  • Making good decisions is not easy, especially when the part of your brain that helps you make decisions is still growing. 
  • While your brain is still growing, you think about the world you live in differently and you may take more risks. 
  • Your brain does a lot of things for you and now is the time when you need to help your brain, so it can help you.  Understanding how your brain works and how you are able to make decisions will help you to keep your brain healthy.
