Lynn Jenkins

Lynn Jenkins is a clinical psychologist, author and mother to three young children. She is passionate about providing education on the social and emotional needs of infants and children. In her private psychology practice, Life Matters Psychologists, she specialises in perinatal mental health and is particularly interested in the parent–child relationship. Lynn is trained to facilitate several parenting programs that focus on nurturing the relationship between parents and children, which she runs through her practice. She contributes regularly to various online parenting sites, and her first book, Best Start: Understanding your baby’s emotional needs to create the best beginnings, was released in 2012. Consistent with Lynn’s ‘early intervention’ approach, her first resource tool picture book, Lessons of a Lac, will also soon be available, intended to help children with anxiety.
