Be it a conversation with friends, teachers or family, children should be able to express their thoughts. Public speaking is one way to help children to capture their audience’s attention and voice their opinions openly.

Communication helps kids successfully navigate relationships and their future success. When children can express themselves, they build confidence and resilience, build better social groups, get better grades which ultimately, leads to a better quality of life.

Today we are joined by Brenden Kumarasamy, is the founder of MasterTalk, a Youtube channel that helps the world master the art of public speaking and communication.

Brenden shares some amazingly practical advice for parents wanting to help their child thrive.
