As a parent, you know better than anyone that your kids are the most important thing in your life. You want them to grow up independent, happy, and healthy, with good relationships, social skills, and strong self-esteem. The only thing that's missing at times is the manual and the how-to! We do our best, and of course, we all want the best for our kids, but kids don't come with a manual. We often feel guilty for "messing up."

Would you like to feel empowered in understanding your role as a parent and confidently parenting?

The SmartChoiceParenting (SCP) Programme is the manual you were never given. It is an "umbrella" programme that enables parents to be consistent and in control of all difficult situations that may arise within the family. Whether it is everyday parenting challenges, sibling rivalry, cheekiness, refusing to eat, or a lack of cooperation, SCP empowers parents to empower their child.

With SmartChoiceParenting, you'll know you are the best parent you can possibly be. Stop striving for perfection. Start parenting with confidence.

Overprotective parents smothers a child’s healthy development.

The SmartChoiceParenting Programme (SCPP) offers a transformative approach to parenting. Our program empowers you to:

• Encourage independence: Teach your child essential life skills and encourage self-reliance.

Separation or divorce doesn’t have to mean fractured parenting.

While the relationship may have changed, your roles as the primary leaders in your child's life remain the same. Dr. Ken Resnick uses his extensive expertise and research to help parents move away from long, drawn-out parenting plans and toward a practical, collaborative structure.

The SmartChoiceParenting Programme (SCPP) focuses on creating a "Same-Page" environment, even across two homes.

How Dr. Ken Empowers Co-Parents:

Mediated Clarity: Dr. Resnick facilitates sessions to establish clear guidelines, ensuring children feel emotionally safe and secure in both households.

Structural Consistency: Implement practical routines and "household laws" that remain consistent, minimising confusion for the child.

Focus on the Adult’s Role: Gain insight into how your behaviour as a leader directly impacts your child's healthy development.

The Benefits for Your Child:

Reduced stress and conflict between households.

Improved emotional well-being and adaptability.

Consistent parenting styles that eliminate "playing one parent against the other".

Invest in your child’s future. Stop the legal back-and-forth and start parenting together.

Divorcing parents often wonder: Will the children be affected?

The good news is, a child is only affected by a divorce if the adult parents behave badly. If the adults are calm the children will feel safe.

Children should not be brought into the relationship problems of their parents.
Young children think concretely and cannot understand abstract concepts such as ‘daddy’s having an affair’ or ‘mommy doesn’t love daddy anymore’.

Divorce counselling assists parents in moving forward with their lives while, at the same time, are given the understanding and knowledge regarding their role as a single parent, or if they have met someone, the role that the new partner needs to play in their child’s life.
