An ADHD Refresh on the Art of Talking to Children

How can we raise kids that are independent, confident, kind, empathetic and happy? By talking to them. Sounds easy, right? 

According to Rebecca Rolland, it can be -- as long as we use the right kind of talk. Rebecca is a speech pathologist and Harvard lecturer but it's her role as a mother of two that led her to write The Art of Talking to Children. In her book, Rebecca introduces the concept of rich talk and explains how it can be used to build productive and meaningful conversations with the kids in your life.
