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.

Harvard lecturer, speech pathologist, and mother, Rebecca Rolland offers an essential, evidence-based guide to communicating more effectively with children of all ages, revealing that a great conversation has a double benefit: helping adults and kids connect better in the moment and boosting children’s learning and wellbeing for years to come.

Dr. Rolland’s tools for communication will help you learn to:

• Engage in more “rich talk”—a methodology for a quality conversation;
  Promote your child’s empathy, curiosity, and ability to embrace challenges;
  Make you feel more effective and confident as a parent.
