When children stop expressing what they really think or feel, the consequences can extend far beyond childhood. They may grow into adults who struggle to advocate for themselves, avoid difficult conversations or hold back their opinions. If the ability to speak up is shaped through everyday interactions at home, what role do parents play in helping children find their voice?

Iris Ong, Founder of The Voice House, joins Let's Talk, Singapore to explore why children need to feel heard, how psychological safety at home shapes their confidence to speak up, and the practical steps parents can take to encourage more open, authentic conversations with their children.

Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek - LIVE every Tuesday and Thursday at 7.15am for We Are Family
