In her TEDx talk, Why Parents Should Listen to Kids, Anyue Sun emphasizes the importance of fostering open communication between parents and children. She explains that when parents actively listen, they allow children to express their thoughts and feelings, which promotes emotional well-being and strengthens family bonds. Sun argues that listening to children helps them feel respected and valued, which encourages their confidence and decision-making skills.

Her talk critiques the “snowplow parent” approach, where parents try to clear obstacles for their children, often without considering their child’s perspective. Instead, Sun encourages parents to give their children space to speak, which can lead to better problem-solving and more resilient kids​
