Before we start learning about unicorns, I have to tell you about something awesome we just discovered.

As a parent, sometimes it could be frustrating trying to get my kids to have meaningful conversations with me,

where they open up and tell me exactly how they feel.

Have you ever asked your kids how their day was just to get the answer good?

Or my favorite answer? I can't remember?

Well, you don't have to worry about that any longer thanks to yak talk back.

Yack Talk Back is an Amazon Alexa skill, and my family is hooked.

Yack is a very talkative mountain yak from the Himalayan Mountains who is looking for people to talk to.

In each conversation, Yack will ask your kids three questions in a way that will get them to answer with, get ready for it, complete sentences.

He might ask something like, what's something you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Olivia and Noah love talking to yak, and I know that your kids will love it too.

For the kids, Yack Talk Back is a fun activity that allows them to catch up with their pal Yack from the Himalayas.

For us parents, it's an incredible resource to learn more about our kids' days, what they've been up to, and how they're feeling.

Yak Talk Back is absolutely free and can be used anywhere, even if you don't have an Alexa device.

You can take Yak with you on the road and access it from a smartphone.

And here's the best part.

The questions your kids get from Yak change every day.

So the experience is always fresh and fun. In order to experience Yak Talkback for yourself,

all you have to do is say, Alexa, open Yak Talk Back. It's now time to get curious. Enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.
