Protocols for Excellent Parenting & Improving Relationships of All Kinds | Dr. Becky Kennedy

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Becky Kennedy, Ph.D., a clinical
psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Good Inside, an
education platform for parents and parents-to-be. We discuss
actionable protocols for raising resilient, emotionally healthy
kids and effective alternatives to typical forms of reward and
punishment that instead teach children valuable skills and
strengthen the parent-child bond. These protocols also apply to
other types of relationships: professional, romantic, friendships,
siblings, etc.  We explain how to respond to emotional
outbursts, rudeness, and entitlement, repair fractured
relationships, build self-confidence, and improve interpersonal
connections with empathy while maintaining healthy
boundaries.  We also discuss how to effectively communicate
with children and adults with ADHD, anxiety, learning challenges,
or with “deeply feeling” individuals.  The conversation is
broadly applicable to all types of social interactions and bonds.
By the end of the episode, you will have learned simple yet
powerful tools to build healthy relationships with kids, teens,
adults, and oneself. For show notes, including referenced articles
