The pressures on parents, teachers and children these days can be immense, coping with an ever-changing, frightening world of technology, social pressures and all the pitfalls this can bring. Expectations of young people and the many challenges that life throws at them and us as educators (parents/teachers) along the way can also be overwhelming. However, preparing our children for life and enjoying our parenting and teaching is achievable.

Virtually all parents love their child and only want the best for them but unfortunately, the manner in which they parent is at the root of virtually all developmental problems including behaviour and academic performance and includes ADHD, temper tantrums, defiance, school refusal, screaming and shouting, soiling, bedwetting and other behaviour or learning difficulties.

The SmarChoiceParenting is a very effective programme with a positive change in the family dynamic being experienced within a short period of time. Feedback from parents who have attended a workshop has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic. The programme provides a structure whereby the parent is able to maintain their authority in a firm and calm manner.
