We talk to our kids all day, but how can we use these conversations to help them reach their full potential? Our guest is Rebecca Roland, a speech pathologist, Harvard lecturer, and author of the book The Art of Talking with Children.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is rich talk, and why is it important?
• You talk about different types of conversations. What are some of the different conversations we should have with our children?
• Conversations for learning.
• Conversations for empathy.
• Conversations for social skills.
• Conversations for confidence and independence.
• Conversations for building relationships.
• Conversations for openness.
• Conversations to promote joy and creativity.
