Correct Meaning?

Hi,
Does the word judicious make sense here: "It is a judicious decision to inculcate the habit of reading books."
  

Top answer

Yes, but 'judicious' is very formal. Are you talking about two people? One usually inculcates a habit in someone else.

Yes, but 'judicious' is very formal.

Are you talking about two people? One usually inculcates a habit in someone else.
eg a teacher and a student.
eg a parent and a child.

A less heavily formal way to say this is eg It's wise to encourage someone to read books.
