Russell Cunningham first came into our lives many years ago as South African foreign exchange student. Since then he has done great things, from joining the South African Navy, to being the operations manager at ixperience.co.za. 

My guest are Chaska residents Jim & Lynne Jackson from Connected Families.  They have developed a format for effective parenting that really works well.  What I’ve noticed over the years is when there is unrest with your kids, life gets very heavy and it adversely impacts every other area in a profound way.  This methodology is so elegant and effective, it transcends parenting and becomes a way of interacting with all important people in your life.Since 1993 co-founders Jim & Lynne Jackson have worked in the trenches with parents of all kinds outside of the Connected Families name – single parents, adoptive parents, parents of teens, parents of kids with intense behavior challenges, parents in blended families, parents of wealth and parents in poverty, and any other kind of parent you can think of. Jim & Lynne began Connected Families in 2002, and with their growing team, they are committed to bringing you content that will challenge, encourage, and equip you to be a thoughtful and confident parent.

Michael Boyland, the bestselling author and president and founder of the Reach For Me Network discusses his journey as a parent of a special needs child and the challenges associated with that and his plan for creating a worldwide network for care providers.
