The most important conversation you will have with your kids | Jason Reid | TEDxLakeForestCollege

In March of 2018, Jason's 14-year-old son committed suicide in the attic of his home while he and his wife were away on vacation. "My seemingly perfect life was shattered to pieces. I was raising beautiful, smart and happy kids in my eyes. But what was really happening behind the scenes, deep in the soul of my son was hidden. We are never given a parent manual, but we are given the tools to help one another. I am on a mission to help parents change the conversation they have with kids."
