Two decision-making strategies that will help you avoid negative unintended consequences:
. Be a Proactive decision-maker.
Be thorough and realize the power of choice.
Develop more than one option.
Slow down and think.
. Talk to people closest to the problem.
Questions:
Think of a time you made a decision that had unintended consequences. If you could change history, what process would you use to improve your decision-making and the outcome?
Think of a decision that you will soon have to make. You have time to think through the process of decision-making. Identify more than one solution. Include possible unintended consequences in the analysis.

Create Youth Knowledge Seekers
Some young people get caught up in unproductive activities. An example of this might be a young person that comes home from school and sits in front of a computer game for hours. As mentors, we must provide experiences that will spark their curiosity and interest in other activities. Give them opportunities to learn about their world.
