Rebecca Rolland, EdD, a member of the Harvard faculty, speech therapist, and mother, equips adults with valuable practical tools to help them have productive and meaningful conversations with children of all ages – whether it's a stubborn toddler we want to persuade about something or a withdrawn teenager we want to open up to us.

Science has shown that the best way to help our children become independent, confident, kind, empathetic, and happy is to talk with them. However, parents and educators often struggle to communicate with children.

Conversations are trivial or full of tension or, even worse, with constant conflicts. The Art of Talking to Our Children shows us how to build quality communication and meaningful discussions, helping them develop the skills and abilities they need to thrive. When we create relationships with fewer conflicts and more joy, we ensure a better future for our children.
