Quality Conversations Boost Brain Development
The #1 advice we’ve gotten as parents is to read to our children. Unfortunately, the core message in this blanket prescription gets lost in the shuffle. It’s not about “dumping” as many words as possible. It’s about having real “back and forth” conversations. A critical brain research out of Harvard/MIT in February 2018 helped to debunk the notion of the "30 Million Word Gap." Researchers found that quality parent-child conversations is the driving force that boosts children’s brain development. It’s not about talking AT our children, but it’s more about about talking TO our children.
As a parent, I don't read to my three children every day. On some days, I’m simply too drained or running behind on bedtime schedule. It's time to drop the parent guilt.

“As a mom and Certified Parent Coach®, I have absolutely loved using Mind Brain Parenting’s first product, 52 Essential Conversations. As a family we use them during our weekly family meetings to spur discussions on important topics that we might not otherwise talk about. My older daughter LOVES getting to pick the card and read the question and she enjoys contributing to the lively discussions we’ve had. Our toddler doesn’t yet chime in, but she is clearly paying attention, and talking about these things is just part of the family culture she will grow up in. I love these cards so much I now recommend them to all my private coaching clients and invite them to find ways to incorporate the conversations into their own families. They provide a wonderful way to create awareness, explore different opinions and experiences, and bond as a family! I can’t wait to get the newest deck, 52 Essential Relationships!”
