3. Survival Aggressive and Response Training (SMART) for Young Parents – Understanding that raising a child is one of the most important things in our lives and no one is born with the skills and talents needed to make this as painless as possible. I speak from experience having 6 of my own, five boys and a girl. Poverty, literacy, abandonment, drugs, violence, suicide, Internet resources, physical, mental, sexual abuse and alcohol are all known factors children have to face on a daily basis. These factors are most often responsible for the breaking down of communication, along with culture differences, religious beliefs, or not having a true understanding of the living situations our children are faced with which, in many ways, prohibit their personal growth and hinder their learning process.
