What you'll learn

Becky Kennedy, known to millions of parents as “Dr. Becky,” is a clinical psychologist with a PhD from Columbia University, a mother of three, and the founder of the Good Inside parenting platform and podcast. In Good Inside, Becky Kennedy argues that children, and the adults raising them, are fundamentally good, even when their behavior is not. Rather than relying on punishments, rewards and time-outs to shape behavior, she shows parents how to look beneath it, hold firm boundaries with warmth, and repair the inevitable ruptures of family life. The result is a hopeful, practical guide for parents who want to raise resilient kids without losing themselves, or their connection with their children, along the way.
