Description

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alison Wood Brooks, Harvard Business School professor and author of Talk: The Science of Social Connection. We explore how parents can help their kids—whether they’re naturally chatty or more reserved—develop essential communication skills to thrive socially and emotionally. Alison shares practical tools for reframing anxiety, fostering meaningful connections, and using humor and warmth to navigate even the toughest conversations. Whether you’re raising an anxious kid, a quiet observer, or a social butterfly, this episode is packed with insights to help your child—and maybe even yourself—feel more confident and connected.
