Summary
Science has shown that the best way to help our kids become independent, kind, and happy is by talking with them. And yet we often find ourselves distracted, exhausted, or at a loss as to how to have meaningful conversations.
On today's episode we talk to As a speech pathologist, writer, and Harvard lecturer, Rebecca Rolland is passionate about the power of language and conversation to enhance our relationships.
In her latest book, The Art of Talking with Children and her approach, she shows you how to enrich your interactions with the kids in your life and build the skills kids really need to thrive. Rebecca talks about meaningful conversations as a "double promise." They build your bond with kids in the moment, and they help kids become kinder, confident, and more creative.
