    Dr. Becky Kennedy on Raising Resilient Kids, Handling Tantrums, and Letting Go of Mom Guilt

    In this episode, I sit down with parenting expert and founder of Good Inside, Dr. Becky Kennedy, to talk about building resilience for our kids and finding patience in parenting. We break down the difference between “sturdy” parenting and “gentle” parenting, how to set boundaries with your kids while staying emotionally connected, and why our job as parents isn’t to make our kids happy all the time. Dr. Becky shares practical parenting tips for handling big feelings and difficult behaviors (especially hitting and tantrums), why allowing space for all feelings actually builds confidence, mom rage, the importance of repair, and why the perfect parent doesn’t and shouldn’t exist.  Key Takeaway / Points: Dr. Becky’s Good Inside approach for building resilience and confidence in kids What "sturdy parenting" actually means Why optimizing for your kid's happiness right now could be wiring them for anxiety later How to handle hitting in toddlers: what to do in the moment and how to prevent it from happening again Her “sitting on the feelings bench" concept and why sitting with your kid's hard emotions is actually the key to raising a confident adult How to repair after you've lost it on your kids (because we all do) Why “mom guilt” doesn’t help anyone What to expect from Good Inside Baby Coloring confessionals: the myth of being a perfect parent, most overrated parenting advice, and her favorite go-to parenting hack This episode is sponsored by Genexa - the first clean medicine company offering medicine to help with fever, cough, colds, and even aches & pains.
