Providing more opportunities for role playing and peer group problem solving will allow George's sons to practice decision making in a safe and supportive environment, increasing their competence in the skill. Encouraging the presence of peers in risky situations or supplying readily available temptations would not promote competent decision making and could potentially be harmful. Keeping them in a sequestered environment would limit their opportunities to practice decision making in real-world contexts.
