Gayla Kilbride is the creator of Doodle DYEnamics. She is also a Speaker, and Doodle DYEnamics Workshop Facilitator. Over the last few years she has studied self-esteem and family communication extensively. In her book titled "Doodle Dynamics - The Unintentional Secret", which will be out soon, she shares her story and what she has learned in detail.

Gayla is committed to helping families create Terrific Teens and avoid the Terrible Teens. She believes one way to do this is through meaningful communication and team work. Gayla feels that families that support each other, no matter what, have more confidence to face what ever life presents them.

Having had children under her roof for 40 consecutive years Gayla has experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly of raising children. She has lived the Terrible Teens and is passionate about helping families avoid them.

Gayla believes that parents of young children have no idea of what lies ahead of them. Over the years she has heard many of these parents say, "But we talk all the time." and "My child would never do that!" . . . If they only knew.
