Episode notes

"I feel best about my parenting when I feel like I have some clarity on what's going on for them," says mother of three. "The single most important thing for kids to learn in life is emotion regulation skills, and that's how they develop circuits in your body", she adds. 'If we think about other forms of coaching, like good coaches help players through really tough times'

As a clinical psychologist, Becky Kennedy works with parents to raise good kids. She’s best known as Dr. Becky on Instagram, and has been called the "Millennial parenting whisperer" for good reason. Becky and Adam challenge the widespread belief that it’s a parent’s job to make their children happy, talk candidly about the surprisingly difficult task of setting and maintaining boundaries, and dig into the science and practice of helping kids (and adults) deal with the ups and downs of life.
