"Smart Choices is mainly designed to help parents educate their kids about physical and emotional dangers and to help kids make better choices to keep themselves safe. A while back Shelley and I were having discussions about various things that I was doing w my kids, including putting my teenagers through Image Based Decisional Drills. As teens they have new found freedoms and I didn't want them going into town and encounter a drunk at a convenient store and had never considered what to do in that situation. Smart Choices Image Cards really are props to help the parent shore up any areas they have not covered with their kids because kids will always surprise you no matter how prepared you try to be. I want to talk to you guys today about some stuff I have been doing. Maybe it will give you some ideas and spur your creativity as well to help keep our kids safe because ultimately as parents that is PRIORITY ONE!"
