Principle:              The older we get the more choices we have.

Level 1:                  Child Demonstration.

                                             Show a picture of a rattle and a picture of a tricycle.  Ask one child to select the picture of something that a child can play with that a baby cannot play with.  Point out that they can choose to do many things and babies can choose only a few things.

Have a child choose an age appropriate object.

Level 2:                  Generalize.

                                             What can you choose to do that a baby cannot do?

Ask for another example of what a child vs. a baby can choose.

                                             Draw a picture.

Level 3:                  Transcend.

Discuss its importance.

                                             Why is that important to do?

                                             Because I like to do it.

                                             What else do you like to do?

Discuss further application of each child's response.

                                             Eat pizza.

Examples:              I know that babies cannot walk into a store and decide what to buy for dinner.  You can choose to walk, hop, skip or jump and teeny babies can only roll over, then they learn to crawl and then they learn to walk.

Teacher provides personal example.

Summary:             Little babies cannot eat pizza!  There are lots of things that you can do and lots of things that you can choose that babies cannot do!  There are many more things you will learn to do as you get older.

Summarize activity and provide rationale.
