Can We Raise Good Kids Without Punishing Them?

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. Parenting is hard enough on a “normal” day, but in times like these—when a natural disaster adds an emotional and mental toll—it can feel almost impossible. 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.

Connect to the Good Kid Underneath the Bad Behavior

When your kid yells “I hate you” or acts out in some other way, it’s hard enough to deal with that situation, but when you and your partner disagree on how to respond, it makes it that much harder. Parenting with a partner who is skeptical or disagrees with your approach is hard and tiring. It's also common. This week, Dr. Becky addresses the challenges of parenting with a skeptical partner and gives tools for how co-parents can learn to speak the same language.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Life360: 
As older kids approach their teen years, we want them to feel more independent. And this is also true: When we’re no longer the ones getting them from point A to point B, we need to know they’ve made it to their destination. So, what's one way we can keep our teens safe while validating their (developmentally appropriate) need for separation? Good Inside just teamed up with Life360, the leading family safety app that helps parents navigate this delicate balance, to bring you a FREE video series on how to talk about tough topics, like peer pressure and curfews, with your teen. With customized locations for frequent destinations like school and practice, automated arrival notifications, and even driving reports that help teach good behind-the-wheel habits, Life360 lets teens spread their wings while giving parents peace of mind. Visit Good Inside’s YouTube page—www.youtube.com/@ goodinside—to watch now! And to learn more about how Life360 can support your family’s safety journey, head to Life 360.com.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Lolleez: 
As a mom of three, cough and cold season can be brutal, so Dr. Becky is always on the lookout for products that make it easier. Lolleez throat soothing pops work so well to treat sore throats and since they’re a flat lollipop and taste amazing, kids will actually take them. Such a smart idea, especially for young kids who can’t gargle or have throat lozenges! The best part? Lolleez are certified organic and made with ingredients you can actually pronounce—plus, they come in fun, kid-approved flavors like Birthday Cake, Strawberry, and Watermelon! And let’s be real: if your kids have it, you’re probably next in line. So they also make Sootheez, throat soothing drops for adults – same clean ingredients, and delicious flavors like Watermelon Mint and Berry Lemonade. You can find Lolleez and Sootheez at Target and Walmart or online at TheEezCo.com.
