Hi there! When we think about whether someone’s choice or option was justified, it means we are asking if their decision was fair and made for a good reason.

Imagine you have to choose between sharing your toys or keeping them all to yourself. If you decide to share, that might be justified because it’s kind and makes your friends happy. But if you keep all the toys because you didn’t want to share, that might not be justified unless you had a very good reason, like if the toys were special and you needed to take care of them.

So, if you think about her option, to decide if it was justified, ask yourself:

  • Did she have a good reason for her choice?
  • Was her choice fair to others?
  • Did her choice help solve the problem or make things better?

If the answer is yes to these questions, then her option was probably justified.

Remember, making good choices is about thinking carefully about how your decisions affect others and what is the best thing to do.
