If you give children a basket full of toys they will choose what they want to play with and when... or they will throw the toys across the floor and trample on them.

If you give children 2 toys and sit with them and ask them which they want to play with, they will learn to play and you might be lucky enough to be asked to join in with their game.

If you respect children's choices and support them to make choices they will eventually learn to make safe choices themselves which is a skill we hope stays with them for life.

I hope this gets you started. Just think about your own good practice and how you use that to support children's choices
