My 12 year old son always takes time to really look at all options before making a decision. From a very early age he realized that if he chose one thing, he couldn't do or have the other and it really bothered him if he thought he made the wrong decision, so he took his time. He used to try to get me to help him make decisions, but then he would blame me if it didn't work out so I quit helping him. He is better about this now that he is older. He has never been impulsive and this can be a good thing. He doesn't buy anything without checking prices and customer reviews and he doesn't choose to do anything without thinking it through and visualizing different scenarios. I think he will avoid some of the problems his somewhat impulsive adult siblings had if he continues looking at all options and making the best decisions he can possibly make with the information available to him.
