Yes, there's a ton of research. Um, and a lot of this goes into many different areas of children's development. Um, just as one example, there's something called emotional reminiscing, which is where you talk in pretty detailed, um, and using a lot of emotional words to children about their past experiences.

So things like if you, they went to the doctor, you know, you're going to ask them to talk about it in a detailed way. What did it look like? How did it feel? and talk about how they tried to cope. For example, what did you do when the doctor gave you a shot? That kind of thing. And research has found that this kind of talk actually really helps children be less anxious and less depressed

and even changes their experiences of painful memories. So we actually know that talking about memories and especially focusing on coping strategies supports children in coping better and actually feeling better about what happened in the past.

Yes, I think a lot of times there's so much of a push in our society to think about sort of academics first or knowledge of colors, of numbers, of facts that we forget that even if kids don't know those particular things right now, they're often thinking about other very interesting things.

And we can think back often as kids, you could spend hours, you know, staring at water dripping, you know, and looking at wondering questions like, I wonder how long it's going to drip for, or I wonder what happens at the end, or how much, you know, it could go on until it overflows.

So actually helping realize just how curious kids are, even at older ages and younger ages, can help us get away from some of those more rote questioning strategies, like how many are there or what color is this? Those kinds of things.

Yeah, so a lot of times I think about a couple of different factors as changing. The first is how concrete you are. So as kids get older, you can tend to focus less on what you hear and see right in front of you, and you can talk about things more abstractly. That changes as kids develop and as they're able to think more in the abstract.
