Curious about the people behind this project? Here you can learn a little bit about everyone and their various roles.
For years, Kyle Jetsel (and his now deceased wife, Shelly) struggled raising their 6 “spirited and challenging” kids. Nothing seemed to be off-limits for this “seemingly feral” crew. From biting, kicking and screaming… to defiance, arguments, fights and threats… to then… even violent outbursts. As the challenges mounted (oppositional defiance, suicidal thoughts and ideation, autism spectrum, etc., etc…) they spared no expense, spending thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours seeking help. When the books and training and specialists and therapists failed to help with “AT HOME” challenges, they made it their business to better understand how they could parent in a spirit of love. Through the “Shelly Method” they developed, they dramatically LOWERED STRESS for everyone and TRANSFORMED their family into a “top 1%” happy family… even AS they raised their kids. Now, they teach that same framework and recipe to other families so THEY can get the same results.
