About this lesson
Agency is not a personality trait. It is a cycle some kids get to practice: notice, act, the world responds, next action is sharper. Hand over the waiter, the teacher email, the idea. Then say the four words: all right, go do it.
What you’ll learn
- Action first. Clarity follows.
- Honor their choices without editing them into yours.
- They hit send, with their name at the bottom.
- Propose instead of asking permission.
