Conversations with children have a great deal of power. In fact, even simple conversations are an important dimension of our human superpower. The science is unambiguous. Children who have a lot of quality conversations during their childhoods tend to have important advantages over children who do not. These advantages range from language and communication skills to a secure sense of belonging and confidence. But not all conversations are equal… In this episode, we’ll speak with Harvard Professor, Dr. Rebecca Rolland, about her book The Art of Talking with Children: The Simple Keys to Nurturing Kindness, Creativity, and Confidence in Kids. Her book offers practical, research-based advice about how people who converse with children can maximize the incredible potential of the simple conversation. It’s also vital advice for those of us who want to one day unleash our superpower for the sake of all our children.
