Julie Morgenstern's insights offer practical strategies to foster meaningful communication with children and guide them in developing good habits, whether in conversations or homework routines.

Quotes to ponder:

"Conversation is the gateway to the inner thoughts, insights, and experiences of another person."

"It has to be safe for kids to share all kinds of feelings with you, not just the happy ones."

"Your job is to ask questions that will stimulate your child to talk. Nurture the discussion with phrases like, 'tell me more about that' and 'that is so interesting.'"
