ScreamFree Parenting

You've seen it on TV, online, and in magazines and newspapers. Parents are being liberated by ScreamFree Parenting! Now you can experience it for yourself. Hal Runkel has discovered too many parents who deeply desire a loving family environment-and instead live in anxiety and exhaustion. Everyone ends up getting far too reactive. Why? Parents spend far too much time orbiting their lives around their children, Runkel has learned. Instead, they need to return the focus to themselves and their own behavior. All parents need to learn to just stay calm, no matter what.

Hal Edward Runkel is a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship coach, seminar speaker, and organizational consultant. As founding principal of ScreamFree Living, Inc., Hal presents ScreamFree programs to audiences nationwide and appears frequently in the media. He has earned a master’s in theological studies, as well as a master’s in marriage and family therapy from Abilene Christian University. Hal and his wife, Jenny, live with their two children in the Atlanta area. More resources are available at www.ScreamFree.com.
