the simple keys to nurturing kindness, creativity, and confidence in kids

Science has shown that the best way to help our kids become independent, kind, and happy is by talking to them-- yet we are at a loss on how to have meaningful conversations. Rolland reveals that a great conversation has a double benefit: helping adults and kids connect better in the moment, an boosting children's learning and well-being for years to come. Here she shares a methodology for quality conversations that will make you feel more confident as a parent. -- adapted from back cover
