In this episode, we break down five essential conversations parents should be having with their kids this summer. From online safety and media limits to emotional health and growth mindset, Amy and Margaret offer practical ways to open meaningful dialogue with your kids—without cornering them for awkward lectures.

You'll learn how to talk about:

📱 Digital Life & Safety: Scam-proofing kids, screen time sanity, and talking tech boundaries.

🧠 Emotions & Mental Health: Helping kids name emotions, normalize asking for help, and express what they're feeling.

🚫 Respect, Consent & Boundaries: From the sandbox to social situations, how to model and enforce personal boundaries.

🌎 Kindness & Inclusion: Embracing diversity, talking openly about difference, and reinforcing family values.

💪 Growth Mindset & Resilience: Teaching kids how to face challenges, recover from failure, and develop a sense of possibility.

Here are the themed playlists we've curated for each of these topics:

Here is Angela Duckworth's advice to the graduates of Bates College about phone usage.

Here is an example of the pre-recorded conversations Amy mentioned that kids can use during ride shares.
