Raising Mentally Unshakeable kids, with Lauren Gaines

This week we kick off a month + of “most-requested” parenting topics. We’re going to cover some hard topics and some hot topics. Today we kick it all off with a topic important for every parent: Raising mentally strong kids! 

 

My guest, Lauren Gaines, has a background in school psychology and has taught at the University level. More recently Lauren began wearing the title of “homeschool Mom”.

 

In today’s interview Lauren tells us about the cognitive triangle, how to help kids “take captive their thoughts” and the power of metacognition (thinking about what you’re thinking about.) With relatable examples and ideas you can try at home, today (!) I think you’ll find a ton of practical help in this conversation!
