Personal responsibility is ownership of the choices available to you. It includes asking for help, acknowledging limits, and repairing a contribution to a problem. It does not mean sole control over outcomes.
A worked situation: Two events overlap
Fictional example. A parent cannot remove a school's scheduling conflict. He can explain the constraint, ask about alternatives, and decide which event he can attend without declaring himself responsible for the timetable.
Work through these questions: Two events overlap
| Question or field | Fictional completed example |
|---|---|
| Situation? | Two events overlap |
| My control? | Which event I attend |
| Other control? | School schedule |
| Available action? | Ask about a recording |
| Decision evidence? | A clear reply to the organizer |
