Smart Choices is a well thought out deck of 84 Image Cards that focuses on IMAGES that will help parents/teachers/educators teach children to recognize danger and to make smart choices ahead of time. Smart Choices will aid in having a plan for the whole family so you AND your child will know what to do when presented with some difficult decisions.

ANYONE can get involved!
  • Parents/Guardians/Family
  • Homeschooling
  • Clubs/Groups
  • Teachers/Educators/Tutors
  • Special needs teaching "Outside the box" for children and adults with learning disabilities
  • Counselors

Smart Choices is not about dumping knowledge into your child’s brain; it is about carrying on a conversation with them. WE SUPPLY THE IMAGE AND YOU SUPPLY THE SUBJECT MATTER, with plenty of "helpful hints" from us.

Smart Choices supply 84 two-sided Image Cards:
  • Our 3.5"x5.75" Smart Choices Image Cards are made of high quality card stock, visually stimulating and the perfect size. Our cards are made to last so as your child grows, new Image Cards can introduced, no matter when you purchased them. Some parents LAMINATE their Smart Choices Image Cards so they "stand the test of time" can hold up to be revisited over and over again through the years.
  • On the front will be an image that your child will see.
  • On the back will be a few "Helpful Hints" to help parents through their first discussions. These are just a few "key word/hints because the best conversations with your children will most likely be through YOUR imagination, research and experiences.
  • No two cards are alike
  • Full color images
  • "Current events" topics for discussion
  • ​There are some "age specific" image cards but most image cards can be used to open up a discussion with many different ages groups.
Benefits:
  • This deck of Image Cards was created for ages 4-13 but ages OVER 13 will benefit as well.
  • Encourages the 4 main Learning Styles the children use
  • Fun and interactive ways to help develop self esteem and confidence so they don't succumb to peer pressure
  • The powerful images on the front of these cards plus the "helpful hints" on the back provoke incredibly important two-way conversations with our children, our grandchildren, our students, and our small groups around potentially dangerous situations and how to maneuver around them. Having already talked though the dangers that each card elicits puts our kids in a position of preparedness, where they can draw on knowledge from a past experience, or in this case, a past card conversation. They know what to do!
  • Create awareness
  • Plan ahead
  • To open communication about sensitive subjects
  • Visual recognition of dangerous situations
  • Body language 
  • This is a chance to encourage your child to think for themselves
  • Explore choices for safety and preparation in advance​
Parents/guardians know their children best and "how to speak their child's language". Each parent has their own rules and teaching style so we are focusing on setting you up for success to help your child learn while you supply the "meat and potatoes" for each image. 

There are 4 main Learning Styles:
  • Visual (learn through seeing)
  • Auditory (learn through hearing)
  • Tactile (learn through touch)
  • Kinesthetic (learn through doing and moving)

Smart Choices gives you the opportunity to use all 4  main Learning Styles and our Setting You Up For Success booklet will take you to the next level for teaching it.
