What are strategic decisions?

Strategic decisions are big choices that help you plan for the future, just like when you pick which game to play before going outside.

Imagine you have two favorite games: tag and hide-and-seek. If it's sunny outside, maybe you choose tag, because you can run around freely. But if it's raining, you might pick hide-and-seek, because you can hide inside the house or under the table. That’s a strategic decision, picking one game over another based on what makes sense for the situation.

Think about going on a trip with your family. If you want to go to the beach, that's a strategic decision, because it means you have to pack swimsuits and sunscreen. But if you're going to the park, you might bring a ball instead of a towel. You’re choosing what to do based on where you're going, just like when you choose between tag and hide-and-seek.

Big decisions, little choices, they all help you be ready for what’s next!
