Summary

How do you raise a good communicator? How do you teach kids to be kind but not a pushover? And what actually matters when it comes to parenting?

But whether you're a parent, thinking about becoming one, or just curious about how childhood shapes the way we communicate, I think you’ll take something valuable away from this conversation.
