Parenting Workshops

While undertaking research for his Doctorate, Dr. Resnick observed that virtually all the evidence-based and well-researched parenting programmes such as the Triple P are based on Cognitive Behavioural Principles and Social Learning theory. In other words, they aim to help parents deal with their child’s behaviour. What makes the SmartChoiceParenting Programme (SCPP) different from other evidence-based parenting programmes is that it educates the parent regarding the importance of their role in guiding their child to adulthood.

The quality of parenting is the key factor in the healthy development of the child, and in the training of most professionals who are qualified to work with the child, very little knowledge is imparted regarding this important fact. As a result, most professionals are taught that childhood disorders have very little, or nothing to do with the quality of parenting that the child receives. Many parents are informed that their child’s disorder is genetic which is simply not true.

In fact, from Dr. Resnick’s experience with the SCPP, parenting has everything to do with the manifestation of all childhood disorders. This is what makes SCPP so different and effective.

Another huge advantage is that it consists of only 2 x 2-hour sessions and a follow-up mediated session with the family. The overwhelming feedback from parents that have implemented the structures of the programme is that the house calms down, and the dynamics within the family show a significant improvement.
