protagonistas de sus propias decisiones
El término que consulto corresponde a uno de los logros de un proyecto de desarrollo como detallo a continuación:
Logro:
Niños protagonistas de sus propias decisiones.
Sin más contexto, se podría traducir como 'Children protagonists of their own decisions' como se muestra en el vínculo a continuación:

No obstante, estaba pensando en traducirlo como
Children leading their own decisions
sin embargo no encontré muchos vinculos al respecto.
Ahora el significado de esta expresión es un tanto literal, ellos están a cargo de tomar sus propias decisiones, nadie influye en sus decisiones.
Me gustaría saber cual de las 2 propuestas suena más natural en inglés considerando el contexto.
Y desde ya agradezco su colaboración.

Non-PRO (1): Neil Ashby
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
