Building Confidence in Kids Through Speech & Debate with Frankie & Cathy Cena

<p>How do you know when to embrace the activities your kids want to participate in and when to try and steer them in a direction of an activity you'd like them to participate in? How can speech and debate help build confidence in kids? How can you encourage them to converse and have friendly debate around the dinner table? This week we spoke to mother-son duo Frankie and Cathy Cena, from FDT Academy, about how speech and debate can help to build confidence in our tweens/teens.
