Flusterclux With Lynn Lyons: For Parents Who Worry

In this consultation with a listener's family, Lynn talks to a mom, dad, and their high school junior who would enjoy staying in his room most of the summer. Lynn helps identify the skill most teens need to strengthen — the skill of doing something you don't really want to do (and how it applies to getting a first job, applying to college, or completing schoolwork). Most parents will find this a very relatable episode about teens learning to motivate themselves to move forward despite some discomfort.VISIT OUR SPONSORS FOR SPECIAL OFFERS JUST FOR YOUNow’s the time to try Earth Breeze and save 40%!

When we remember that anxiety demands certainty and is a creator of doubt, it makes sense that decision-making can become a problem. What if I make the wrong choice? How do I decide between two good options? How will I know I’m choosing correctly? In this episode, we talk worry, decisions, and the skills we can teach our kids to keep them moving, whether they are picking out which t-shirt to wear in the morning or which college to choose.VISIT OUR SPONSORS FOR SPECIAL OFFERS JUST FOR YOUNow’s the time to try Earth Breeze and save 40%!

On this In Session episode, Lynn talks to a mom who is beginning to recognize patterns of rigidity and anxiety in her 9yo daughter and, more importantly, the ways both she and her husband react to uncertainty and judgement in themselves and others. When the goals of being right and being perfect are modeled, children often react with shut downs or freak outs when they themselves fall short. How does a busy, rigid family step out of this trap?VISIT OUR SPONSORS FOR SPECIAL OFFERS JUST FOR YOUNow’s the time to try Earth Breeze and save 40%!
