Before the school year starts, have this conversation with your children

MINNEAPOLIS -- Time to stuff those backpacks and pack those lunches, because as of this week school is back in session.

But there's another little-known but deeply important way to prep our kids for the school year, and it simply requires a two-minute talk.

Jillian Benfield, a writer and blogger, posted about the conversation on Facebook. You can read it below or hear it in the video above.

Benfield is advocating for her son, who has a Down syndrome diagnosis, and inspiring many along the way.
