Deep Dive: Dr. Robyn Silverman on "How to Talk to Kids About Anything"

Research suggests that kids really do want to talk about difficult subjects with their parents. So where do we start? Dr. Robyn Silverman, author of the bestselling book How to Talk to Kids About Anything, has ideas.

This Deep Dive series revisits some of our past episodes about how to have tough conversations with our kids.

How do we talk to our kids about all the complicated topics our world presents them with? Dr. Robyn Silverman, child and teen development specialist, is the author of the bestselling book ⁠How to Talk to Kids About Anything⁠ and host of the podcast ⁠How to Talk to Kids About Anything⁠, gives us scripts for having hard conversations with our kids.


In this interview Dr. Silverman, Amy, and Margaret discuss:

  • The downside to parents not talking to kids about hard things
  • The biggest mistakes parents make when talking to kids
  • Why tough conversations are worthwhile for reasons that go far beyond what might be discussed
