Derek and Gail Randel have two children. They have experienced the roller coaster ride of parenting with more dips than highs, but this has changed. They are facilitators for, "Becoming a Love and Logic Parent." They received training from Jim Fay and Foster Cline M.D. (the authors of Parenting with Love and Logic, Teaching Children Responsibility). The second program they're facilitators for is called Self Esteem Seminars for enhancing self-esteem through group and individual transformation developed by Jack Canfield (Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul). Our program is a combination of these two programs, called "Parent Smart from the Heart." We now enjoy the roller coaster ride of parenting which now has more natural highs than dips.
