This book focuses on how parents and other caregivers can have richer and more fruitful conversations with their children. Parents will be able to use the ideas in this book to improve conversations with their children in ways that help them (a) more effectively learn in school, (b) develop stronger and more lasting relationships in and out of school, and (c) increase their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Some children are more prepared for school than others. Much of this preparation comes from the types of conversations that children have and listen to at home. Many children need more practice in developing and using key conversation skills that are expected in school and life. They need more practice co-constructing ideas with other people, face to face, and they need more practice engaging in respectful collaboration and argumentation. This book helps parents to provide such practice.

Industry Reviews

Parents know it's important to talk to our kids, but we don't always know how to do this in ways that build the skills and mindsets needed for success in school and life. Jeff Zwiers shows us how everyday conversations with our children can cultivate their ability to interpret stories, clarify their thinking, elaborate on their ideas, paraphrase the words of others, and understand the world around them. This book is full of clear, well-grounded advice and practical strategies.--Jennifer Fletcher, PhD, Professor of English, California State University, Monterey Bay
