Parenting During the LA Wildfires

There are no adequate words to express the horror of the ongoing LA wildfires. It’s completely understandable if you feel worried, out of control, or stunned.

Dr. Becky recently held a virtual event for parents affected by these wildfires - this episode is the recording of that event. Together they connect, hold space for one another, discuss ways to support your kids during this time, and explore how you can find your own strength amidst uncertainty.   Free resource for parents navigating the California Wildfires: [https://www.goodinside.com/article/10268/resources-for-parents-navigating-the-california-wildfires/?sharehash=d85335a0-2915-4ffd-8bf1-970048497bcf] (https://www.goodinside.com/article/10268/resources-for-parents-navigating-the-california-wildfires/?sharehash=d85335a0-2915-4ffd-8bf1-970048497bcf) Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: [https://tinyurl.com/2333cvad] (https://tinyurl.com/2333cvad) Follow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside Sign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletter Order Dr. Becky's book, Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, at goodinside.com/book or wherever you order your books.

The Overlap Between ADHD, Neurodivergence, and Deeply Feeling Kids

Dr. Becky is joined by clinical psychologist, Alex Reed, to discuss the overlap between ADHD, neurodivergence, and Deeply Feeling Kids.

You're Not The Boss of Me!

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.

Truth: Feeding small children is hard and stressful. But here's another truth: You are a good parent even if your kid is only eating crackers right now. You are a good parent even if your kid hasn't touched a vegetable in months. And you are a good parent if you are bottle feeding instead of breastfeeding. What your child eats or doesn't eat isn't an indication of your parenting. This week Dr. Becky and Megan McNamee of Feeding Littles get real and deep about feeding small children and everything it can bring up.
