Let’s Talk

Are you struggling to connect with the young people in your life? You're not alone, and there's a better way forward. In Let's Talk: Communicating with Today's Youth, Dr. Kimberly N. Jackson, a veteran educator, principal, and coach, offers an honest, practical, and research-informed guide to building stronger communication with kids and teens. Drawing from over two decades of experience and heartfelt real-life stories, Dr. Jackson helps parents, educators, and mentors decode what young people are really trying to say-and how to respond in ways that heal, guide, and empower. Inside, you'll learn how to:

Develop emotional intelligence and empathy for deeper connection Use active listening to build trust and open the lines of communication Navigate cultural, generational, and digital influences on communication Give effective feedback and praise that motivates-not discourages Address conflict with calm, confidence, and care Create safe spaces where young people feel heard, seen, and valued

Whether you're raising a child, teaching a classroom, or coaching a team, Let's Talk offers tools you can use today to create more meaningful conversations-and lifelong relationships.
