Good Inside with Dr. Becky

This is a repeat of an earlier episode. Whether it's sleep-away camp, soccer team, or piano lessons the decision to let your child just "quit" can be a tough choice to make. You question: did you do the right thing? Should you have pushed them to stick it out? Will this be an indicator of how the rest of their life is going to go? Deep breath, we are all in this together. In this episode, Dr. Becky talks it through with a mom who is questioning her decision about summer camp. Is it more important to have them stick to their commitments or better to prioritize our relationship with them?

Talking about money is hard. It's hard to talk about with our partners and friends so of course, it makes sense that it would also be hard to talk about with our kids. This week, Dr. Becky talks to a mom about how to talk to kids about money but also about where kids find their self-worth and how we de-couple the two.

When your child is being rude it's easy to fall into the trap of yelling, issuing timeouts, or threats. But behavior is not identity and as parents, we have a choice. We can choose to see it as our kids disrespecting us or we can choose to see it as our kids having a hard time and needing us to show them the emotion regulation skills they need. Myleik Teele joins Dr. Becky this week to talk about disrespect and rudeness.

It's time to reframe defiance. When our kids don't listen to us or are being "defiant" by doing the complete opposite of what we've asked them to do, it's important to remember that they are still good kids. They are good kids who need firm and loving boundaries, connection, and to feel a little powerful on occasion. This week, Dr. Becky chats with a mom struggling with her son's "defiant" behavior and who's looking for a way to reconnect and repair with him.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Hanna Andersson: 
Two things are true: Summer is amazing and summer is stressful. One way to manage summer stress is to pair fun and adventure with predictability. This might be as simple as laying out your kids’ favorite swimsuits the night before a big beach day…but it’s also knowing those suits will hold up for your kids all summer long. That’s why Hanna Andersson’s swimwear is a go-to in Dr. Becky's family. Their fabric is fast-drying (less complaints of “Ugh I’m still wet!”), holds its shape without stretching (no more sagging suits), and blocks 97% of harmful UVA/UVB rays (less guilt about being in the sun!). And this year, they have the cutest selection of prints—meaning they’ll become quick favorites for your kids, too. Get 25% off your first order with code GOODINSIDE at hannaandersson.com.

Self-compassion is something we could all use a little more of. But we often don't show ourselves the same compassion and kindness that we would show to a friend going through the same thing. But today we change that with the help of Dr. Kristin Neff, a pioneer in the field of self-compassion.
