    Revisit - Confidence Isn't Feeling Good. Confidence is Self-Trust.
    Sep 24 2024

    This is a repeat of an earlier episode. When your kid comes home from school and declares "I'm the worst at math" or "everyone is better at gymnastics than me", you might think that you can teach them to believe in themselves with some words of encouragement. But confidence doesn't come from the outside. True confidence comes from feeling good enough inside. This week, Dr. Becky talks to a mom who is doing all the right things to teach her son to believe in himself but it just isn’t working.

  • How to Quiet Your Kid's Anxious and Busy Brain

    How to Quiet Your Kid's Anxious and Busy Brain
    Sep 10 2024

    When our kids have anxiety, all we want as parents, is to reassure them and protect them. And while these instincts are lovely and well-intentioned, they don't actually help our kids manage their anxieties and fears. In today's conversation, Dr. Becky helps a parent understand and address their kid's intense anxiety.

Wow! The Voices in our Head!

This was an enlightening episode, fascinating, really! We all do have different voices and I loved how we can ask our calm self to stay. Things go better when that self stays. When we are sick or tired and do or say things we regret it is very important to repair! Go back apologize and tell them how you wished you would have handled it. I also loved how you praised the mom that was just present with her child.

The best parenting advice available.

I am a parent coach myself and the father of four year old twin boys. I have read lots of books about parenting young children and have appreciated the value of many parenting “experts.” Listening (binging) to Dr.Becky over the last month has solidified many of my ideas and really helped me with lots of practical ideas to support my children. She covers it all. Nervous system regulation, boundaries, emotional validation and does this while affirming the emotional toll that comes with being a parent. I bow to Dr. Becky’s insight and creative, honest exploration of her own parenting process. I listened to these podcasts while riding my bike to work and there were many times I was pumping my fists in the air knowing that other parents are learning these skills and helping to create a healthier future for their children. Thank you Dr. Becky.

Hands down, Dr. Becky is EVERYTHING!

“Parenting is so easy!” said no one ever... and PS, there is no handbook... until now. Dr. Becky is my go to source for parenting techniques and I swear by her golden nuggets of practical and realistic advice. I even catch my own “self talk” shifting from a place of shame and blame to curiosity and nurturing. She is a total family game changer. I am a huge HUGE fan and highly recommend this podcast, her IG, workshop and anything else! Thank you for including us in your journey, Dr. Becky! You are such an inspiration!

Not impressed.

As a mom of two, degree in ECE, and over 10 years of working with young children this podcast is not something I’m impressed with. I listened to two of them. I will be looking for a better approach to positive reinforcement and natural consequences.
