70: Lynn McLaughlin - The Power Of Thought

<p>Did you know your thoughts have powers? What if you could teach your kids that in a fun loving game kind of way? Well now you can. Today's guest is Lynn McLaughlin,</p> <p>As an educator and parent, Lynn is passionate about children's mental health. Lynn speaks openly about her role in enabling one of her children who struggled with debilitating anxiety. She and her niece Amber Raymond, a Social Worker, have joined forces to publish a children's book series titled, "The Power of Thought" where children beam off to an imaginary planet to learn how to manage their emotions in a positive way.</p> <p>Her advice for single parents:</p> <p>Listen with the intent of understanding. Children's behaviors stem from a cause. If I could turn back time, I wouldn't be the parent flying in to solve the problem, to make things right. When my daughter was volatile, I wanted to calm the situation but it did not serve her well. If we can understand why our children feel a certain way, we can then give them the tools to deal with their own emotions in a positive way.</p> <p>Connect with Lynn:</p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lynnmclaughlin.co/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/lynnmclaughlin.co/</a><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lynnmcla/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/lynnmcla/</a><br> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkyeari6SNO4ZKQ5Un-_f4w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkyeari6SNO4ZKQ5Un-_f4w</a><br> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-mclaughlin-med-bed-ba-2a8b5384/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-mclaughlin-med-bed-ba-2a8b5384/</a><br> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/lynnmcla" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/lynnmcla</a><br> Website: <a href="https://lynnmclaughlin.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://lynnmclaughlin.com/</a><br> Podcast: <a href="https://lynnmclaughlin.com/podcast-list/agi-heale" rel="nofollow" target="_b
