The most important parenting strategy to use during a tantrum is… the mantra we say to *ourselves* to stay calm. After all, our kids learn to regulate by absorbing our regulation. Check out this reel for my go-to mantra during my own kid’s tantrums. It’s a game-changer and the key to showing up as a sturdy leader. Also if you have a mantra or strategy that helps you stay calm during a tantrum, please share it below. We could all (including me!) use some go-to tips. We’ve got this! #tantrums #par

Kids crave sturdy leadership: A parent who can recognize their emotions AND not get swept up in them. Our sturdiness is what makes them feel safe, what allows them to calm down, what helps them develop emotion regulation and resilience. And sometimes sturdiness looks like… doing almost nothing. | Dr. Becky at Good Inside

It makes sense to want a tantrum to end… but here’s the truth. The panic we feel in those moments often comes from inside us as parents. In many ways, tantrums reveal more about the parent experience than the child’s. This episode with Joe Gonzales was so special. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. | Dr. Becky at Good Inside

Do you have a kid who is easily reactive, angry, or out of control? A kid who takes a long time to calm down? A kid who rejects support? You’re not “doing it wrong.” There’s nothing wrong with your child and there’s nothing wrong with you. You likely have a Deeply Feeling Kid, a child who escalates quickly, whose tantrums last longer, who struggles to take in your comfort when they are upset. These kids can appear angry and prickly - and yet underneath, they are deep feelers who just need a diff

All of our struggles have a story to tell. Triggering moments with our kids - whining, tantrums, defiance - are often experiences from our own childhoods spilling over into the present. Two things are true: Our parents did the best they could with the resources they had AND there are things that we wish they had done differently. The point of examining our pasts is not to place blame on our caregivers, it’s to better understand our patterns, so we can show up in the way we want for our kids. Rep

Talking about our triggers with our kids takes away their power. It also helps us take small, meaningful steps toward staying calm and connected - and that's so important.

This is such a good episode, I hope you'll tune in. Available wherever you stream (And to watch on YouTube!) | Dr. Becky at Good Inside

Imagine this: Your 4-year-old is throwing a tantrum… What are the odds in the middle of their meltdown they’ll pause and think, “Hm, last time I was screaming and crying, I didn’t get to have dessert. I think I’ll calm down and go apologize to my parents”? Not going to happen! In moments like this, your kid is experiencing a feeling they don’t yet know how to manage. Our job is to help our kids build the skills they’re missing, not punish them for not yet having those skills. When you’re dealing

If you’re in a difficult stage with your kid… if they’re lying, throwing tantrums, , constantly telling you “no,” ignoring you, talking back, or just generally acting in a way that leaves you frustrated and exhausted, you are not alone. And I want you to do one thing today… Forgive yourself. Here’s why: Your kid’s behavior isn’t your fault. You are still a good parent. You just haven’t been set up for success. This is the hardest job in the world, and it comes with no support or training. That i

Why do the holidays feel so stressful for so many of us? Often, it comes down to this: expectation minus reality. We imagine how things "should" go - calm, joyful, meaningful - and then real life shows up with tired kids, big feelings, and plans that don’t quite fit. We can’t change reality all that much. But we can soften the stress by adjusting expectations. Like choosing fewer plans, saying no more often, and letting “good enough” be enough. If the holidays feel harder than you expected, it d

Do “typical” parenting strategies actually make things worse for your child? Does your child reject your help when they are struggling? Can they be reactive and slow to calm down once upset? Do others label your child as “difficult,” “dramatic,” or “defiant?” Deep breath. No, you’re not doing it “wrong.” In fact, there is nothing wrong with you or your child. You likely have a Deeply Feeling Kid. We have an approach to parenting these kids that is unlike anything out there. If you’re ready to fi

Kids cannot change until they feel good inside. And so much of feeling good is feeling connected, meaning that you don’t feel alone in your struggle. Here’s something parents don’t do enough of: share stories from their childhood, stories of struggle and acting out and tantrums and difficulties in relationships. Sharing these stories normalizes struggling and tells your kid, “I was there too. You’re not alone. I am a good person and I struggled in that way... this means that you’re a good person

When we interpret our kids’ bad behavior from a lens of disrespect, it’s easy to justify our frustration and harsh reactions. So, let’s reframe how we talk about “disrespect.” Our kids experience a wide range of feelings and manage them with a wide range of behaviors. As parents, our job is to teach our kids the skills they need to manage those feelings effectively. Do you want your kid to persevere, instead of giving up? Embrace challenges, instead of choosing the easy path? Stay calm when thin

Sometimes the most supportive thing we can offer a partner isn’t a solution, it's just being there. Not fixing. Not lecturing. Just being a steady, calm place for someone we love. I love how @johndelony puts it: his wife will say, “I need to borrow your nervous system for 20 minutes.” They sit, watch a rerun of a show, and laugh a little, which does more than any advice ever could. This is what connection looks like. Find the full episode wherever you get your podcasts (and watch it on YouTube!)

Here’s something you would never expect a clinical psychologist who specializes in parenting to say…it’s okay if you f!ck up. Why? Well repair is the single most powerful parenting strategy we have. In fact, repairing with your child sets a foundation for just about every important relationship pattern. If there is one thing I want you to take in from all that I share, it’s this: We all mess up. What defines us not whether we mess up, it’s what happens after. And.. It is not too late.
