The fundamental principles of parenting remain consistent throughout a child's development from infancy to teenage years. Understanding how to maintain a connection with the child, set boundaries, validate feelings, and repair relationships forms the basis of effective parenting. These foundational skills, referred to as 'good inside essentials,' serve as a valuable toolkit for parents to navigate the challenges of parenting. Additionally, emotional regulation stands out as the 'meta skill' that applies to various situations, from handling tantrums in young children to managing intense emotions in teenagers. This skill is recognized as essential not only in parenting but also as a foundational skill across all areas of life.
On this weekend episode of the Daily Dad Podcast, Ryan talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy on how we emotionally vaccinate, the ability to cope through stress, educating our kids on emotions and her new book Good Inside
Dr. Becky Kennedy is an American clinical psychologist who is founder and chief executive officer of the Good Inside company, an online parenting advice service. She has been called the "millennial parent whisperer" by Time Magazine and is a number one New York Times bestseller for her book Good Inside. As a mom of three, when she was first starting out, she practiced a popular behavior-first, reward-and-punishment model of parent coaching. But, after a while, something struck her: those methods feel awful–for kids and parents. She put together everything she knew about attachment, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and internal family systems theory, and translated those ideas into a new method for working with parents.
