Listen in as Lynne Jackson and Lydia Rex join us to talk about their new "Sensitive and Intense Kids" online course and how it can help.Alan and Corrie love to help parents gain confidence in navigating the many challenges of parenting. Our greatest desire as parents is to connect with our children's hearts and share God's love and mercy with them. When we started parenting, we thought our discipline methods were achieving this goal, but we discovered our approach was actually driving our children further from us and their hearts further from God. We were frustrated, feeling hopeless, and lacking joy in parenting. In desperation, we signed up for parent coaching with a ministry called Connected Families. It brought renewed connection into our parenting and gave us a biblical framework to model God's grace and truth. Our passion is to help other families experience that same change and restored joy in parenting using the Connected Families framework. We work together with you to make a practical plan to handle your specific parenting challenges in a way that reflects God's love for you and your children. Visit Building Wise Families

In the mid-1800s, an enslaved man named Dred Scott sued for his freedom in St. Louis. Scott's yearslong legal battle culminated in an infamous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that helped push the country closer to civil war. Today, Dred Scott and his wife, Harriett Scott, are celebrated, and there's a new monument that befits that legacy in Calvary Cemetery in north St. Louis. STLPR's Marissanne Lewis-Thompson talked with the Scotts' great-great-granddaughter Lynne Jackson about that legacy in front of the newly erected monument.

When Mark and I were raising our five children, there was a wide array of temperaments, personalities, and unique traits in each of them. The truth is, families usually have one child that is more sensitive and intense than the others. Often what worked for your other children might not work with this child. Every child is different and needs intentional leadership from their parents. In fact, Dr. Kathy Koch and I talk about this in our book, No More Perfect Kids: Love Your Kids for Who They Are, because learning new skills and understanding your sensitive and intense child can be a game changer.Helping me unpack this today is Lynne Jackson. Lynne has 25 years of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist working with children with a sensory processing disorder, ADHD, OCD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and autism spectrum disorder. Lynne is also an author and founder of Connected Families, a ministry that helps families in the midst of everyday life.In this episode, you'll hear:Examples of a sensitive and intense childStrategies for decreasing stress for you and your childWhat truly makes us good parentsAnd more!I pray this is exactly what you are needing to hear today!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/lynne-jackson-130

Some of our precious kiddos live with their sensitivity and intensity turned up a notch from the rest of us. What we think should be simple or routine can trigger big outbursts from our kids. Daily life might feel chaotic or unpredictable.  As a mom of a sensitive or intense child you probably have a good idea of what doesn't work, but it can be hard to discern what will help in those moments. My guests this week are Lynne Jackson and Lydia Rex of Connected Families. Together, they have compiled research and real life experiences from over a 100 families of children who are sensitive and intense and created a parenting course to support and equip parents.  Lynne and her husband Jim have been regulars on Don't Mom Alone encouraging moms (and dads) that it is possible to connect with your child, to coach them, and correct them - you never have to lose one to have the other. Lydia joins Lynne in the thick of parenting her own sensitive and intense children to encourage moms to draw from the limitless well of Christ's love for yourself and your child in real-life challenging situations.  Connect with Lynne Jackson & Lydia Rex:  Website:  https://connectedfamilies.org/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectedFamilies  Instagram:  @connectedfams Links Mentioned:   Connected Families - Your Sensitive Intense Child  Connected Families Sensitive & Intense Kids Online Course  Connected Families - 7 Practical Calming Strategies for Kids  Related Episodes: Grace and Truth for Moms :: Lynne Jackson [Ep 296] Helping Your Children With Sensory Processing Issues :: Lynne Jackson [Ep 258]  Connected Relationships (LIVE Event) :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 222] Discipline 101 (LIVE Event - Friday Night) :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 221] The Entitlement Fix :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 200]  Bonus Mentor Episode - Resolving Sibling Conflict :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 126]  Connecting With Your Kids in Any Circumstance :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 98] How to Connect, Coach and Correct Your Child :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 81] Help Your Child Feel Safe and Loved :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 80] Exclusive Pre-Order:  Pre-Order Right Where You Belong: How to Identify and Fully Occupy Your God-Given Space Featured Sponsors:  Find links to this week's sponsors and unique promo codes at dontmomalone.com/sponsors.

“Our word isn't racism. It's relationship.” Those are the words of Lynne Jackson, the great great grand-daughter of Dred Scott. Lynne joins the Gloria Purvis Podcast to discuss the Dred Scott decision and its ripple effects today.  In 1852, Dred sued the state of Missouri for his freedom, invoking the law “once free always free” after living in the free state of Illinois. Ultimately, his case was denied by Chief Justice Roger Taney, who ruled by the changing political tide and pervading racism of the time. Lynne Jackson founded the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation to commemorate her ancestor's story, to continue education around racial justice, and to reconcile the descendants of formerly enslaved people with the descendants of slave-owners.   Jackson herself was able to meet the descendants of Roger Taney. And together they have spoken before colleges and legislatures, testifying to the impact of Scott's historical case as it altered the course of U.S. history and continues to ring through the generations.  “I was just grateful that we had come to a point in our country where we could have of these two families speak together and know each other and respect each other,” says Jaconson, “And have a moment where we could say we aren't our ancestors and we want to see a better day for all of our children in our country.” In addition to modeling racial reconciliation between families today, The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation raised $250,000 to commission the only statue of Dred Scott and his wife Harriet, which stand outside the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri.    There still is no postage stamp for Dred Scott. The Foundation started a Dred Scott Stamp Campaign to solicit required petitions and you can help by going to their website, www.dredscottlives.org and checking out the campaign.   Lynne Jackson is available for speaking engagements and can be reached through the website at info@thedredscottfoundation.org or 314-532-5613.

On April 6th 1846 the “Dred Scott Case” first went to trial in St. Louis, Missouri's Old Court House. The case involved an enslaved couple, Dred and Harriet Scott, who filed suit against their owner to gain their freedom. They did this based on the fact that they had once lived in “free territory” and should therefore have been emancipated based on the doctrine of “once free, always free”, previously recognized by Missouri courts. Little did the Scott's know, that eleven years and several court cases later, the question of their freedom would be brought before the US Supreme Court and would result in the horrendous “Dred Scott Decision”. That decision would serve as a major catalyst for the turbulent events leading up to the American Civil War. In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Lynne Jackson, the great, great granddaughter of Dred and Harriet Scott and the President & Founder of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation. Lynne will be sharing the fascinating story of her courageous ancestors who persevered in their pursuit of freedom. Picture(s): Courtesy of Lynne Jackson Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man
