208 - Lynn Jimenez on raising emotionally intelligent children

Lynn Jimenez (based in Southern California), is a mental health therapist, yoga instructor, and single mum. She's also the founder of Connect.Flow.Grow - a platform that provides parents with easy to use tools so they can teach their kids about feelings and behaviours, reducing stress and frustration in the home, and increasing the MAGIC of family time. She's had a broad range of experience ranging from the activation in the stress response system, to creating school-based programs to teach kids social-emotional skills, to working with adults in a substance abuse treatment centre. In this episode, Lynn shares some tips to help you help your kids become emotionally intelligent by teaching them about their feelings and what to do with them. These easy to use tools will help parents and kids manage their emotions, will bring them closer together and will help promote peace in the home. We also talk about: travelling as a single mum, the benefits of a family meeting and what to discuss, why saying "why did you do that?" to your kids is a completely useless question, repairing harm, raising emotionally connected boys, and SO MUCH MORE!
