Dear Parents,
RE: Talking to your kiddos makes them smart
The links between school achievement and parents’ ability to talk with kids from a young age are now well established.
The language stimulation children receive when they talk with parents is one factor. But, engagement in conversation with parents benefits kids in a far broader sense. In many ways, it is through conversations that kids get a real sense of us as parents. It is through talking with kids that we impart some of our knowledge, ideas, wisdom, and thoughts while also gaining access to a window into their worlds and the way they think.
