What Boys and Dads Really Need with Richard Reeves

Gender roles are shifting—and as they do, the needs of boys and
men are changing too, impacting how we raise boys and understand
modern fatherhood. In this conversation, Dr. Becky and Richard
Reeves explore how evolving expectations around masculinity and
fatherhood are leaving many boys and dads without the support
they need, and why rethinking those roles is key to helping all
kids—and parents—thrive.

Should I keep going? If your family is anything like mine, it can

Today’s episode is brought to you by Sittercity. We talk a lot
about support at Good Inside—emotional support, community, not
having to figure out parenting on your own. Sometimes, you also
need logistical support. Like, someone to watch your kid so you
can make that meeting, run those errands, or finally catch up
with a friend. That’s where Sittercity can be a really helpful
tool. Their platform gives you a trusted way to find sitters who
are kind, experienced, and show up when you need them. You can
read reviews from other parents, message sitters directly, and
set up interviews—all in one spot. If you’ve been meaning to find
a sitter but didn’t know where to begin, this is going to make it
feel a whole lot easier. Go to Sittercity.com and use the code
“goodinside" for 25% off the annual or quarterly premium
subscription plans.


Today’s episode is also brought to you by Coterie. I remember
when my own kids were learning to use the potty… so many mixed
emotions: pride, stress, excitement, and a lot of mess. It really
is a process. That’s why I’m always looking for tools that make
it feel easier. Coterie gets that. They’ve created thoughtful
products that support how kids actually learn, like The Flush
Wipe and The Pant. The Pant is a diaper-training pant hybrid with
a stretchy, tabbed waistband for easy pull-down or diaper-style
changes. It’s absorbent enough to make it the only product you
need for day and night. You can pair The Pant with the new Flush
Wipes. They’re soft, durable, and designed for independent wiping
- made with 99% water and 5 clean ingredients, safe for sensitive
skin. Plus, they're sewer and septic safe, so they disintegrate
like toilet paper when flushed.  ****Think of them like a
dynamic duo, designed to grow with your kid through this process
and make potty learning feel a little better for everyone. Get
20% off your first order with the code DRBECKY20.
