We’ve got to get talking. Building a bridge to good communication and connection with kids starts early and continues throughout the teen years. Still, studies find that while kids want to talk to trusted adults about complicated and touchy subjects, many parents, teachers, and coaches don’t knoww here to begin or what to say—so they put it off or don’t say anything at all.This backfires, spiking risky behavior and allowing peers, influencers, or strangers to be the ones who educate our children—and we may not like what they have to say.Child Development Specialist, Dr. Robyn Silverman, is The Conversation Doc. In this presentation, she takes parents and those who work with children through a whole spectrum of strategies and scripts to prepare them for life's most challenging conversations.
