Topics Can Include
Literacy: Reading must be explicitly taught and how we teach it matters.
Well-being: Children need to be taught the skills to understand themselves, build confidence and self-awareness, regulate their emotions, make positive choices, and develop problem-solving skills.
The Power of Thought
Lynn and Amber's Mom's Choice Award-winning The Power of Thought children's book series provides a foundation for these conversations. Through relatable stories and practical strategies, children are encouraged to understand their thoughts and feelings, work through everyday challenges, and make positive choices.

Every school should have an evening like this one, where we can learn together with our children and teachers. We've all had to cope with so much that has happened in the last few years.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Lynn. 14 years ago Lynn planted a leadership seed in me as a brand new teacher. She was patient, caring and a leader with heart. The same leadership skills she used in education, she uses to drive her business. Her motivation and passion for helping others became clear when life threw her lemons. Not only did she make lemonade, but she also took the lemonade and supported her community knowing that her story will save lives. As a new business owner, her book became my resource guide. It encouraged me to keep going and always have a positive mindset! Thank you, Lynn!”
“Lynn is an extraordinarily gifted writer and as such an incredible storyteller. Her courageous and warrior like spirit to divulge the truth about her own struggles is empowering and inspirational ... Because she has dealt with her own feelings fighting her own battles she is able to be a champion for anyone who is facing adversity in his/her life. She knows how to engage a reader or listener and captivate them until the very end.”
“Lynn McLaughlin is a survivor in every sense of the word. As a student in my online “Present Like a Pro” course, I found her to be insatiably curious, decisive and resourceful. She’s got a great story and knows how to tell it in ways that will help others. The world needs more people like the author and speaker, Lynn McLaughlin!”
