I know that we can say"talk to or talk with" but what does" talk... for" mean in this text?

Dear Nafisi, This is not a phasal verb. "a typical day for the children there" means the same as "a typical day of the children there" or "those children's typical day".

In this sentence, talk for is not a phrasal verb. Think of for just being part of the phrase for the children and you will understand it.

Thank you very much.
Can you tell me why can't I find it in a dictionary? For example I can see talk about, or talk to , or talk with etc, but I cannot see even one phrase or example using for with talk. I can understand the meaning. But I am a teacher and I should explain it to my students and I do not know how. When I checked different dictionaries, I saw nothing. I mean collocations

Is it right?She's talking to the children there about a typical day? If it is right, then is there any difference?
