About Katie Plunkett

Hi, I’m Katie — teacher, parent, and professional kid translator. You can find me over on Instagram at @kidtalk. co.

I’ve spent the past decade helping grown-ups communicate better with kids (and vice versa). I believe that the way we talk to children shapes how they see themselves, the world, and their place in it, and that small shifts in language can lead to BIG shifts in connection.

This newsletter is a mix of storytelling, research-backed strategies, personal reflections, brutally honest kid quotes, and real-life moments that’ll make you laugh, cry, and probably rethink some of what you know about talking to kids.
