The Talk
The Talk is a podcast where we explore ways of including our young children in big conversations. We'll be having conversations with parents and other guests about the importance of being honest, open, and candid with our kids about subjects that are often seen as inappropriate, unnecessary, or just plain uncomfortable for young people. By setting the groundwork for this kind of dialogue early on, we can build mutual trust between our kids and us, and set the stage for the kind of communication environment that all parents hope for as their kids grow into adolescence and beyond. We'll also hear from listeners about the talks their parents had (or didn't have!) with them growing up, and the impact those conversations have had on them as adults. You can find The Talk on the web at TheTalkThePodcast.com, on Instagram and Facebook at @thetalkthepodcast, and on Twitter at @thetalkthepod.
