The Cost of Compliance for Our Kids

We often think of “good” kids as those who listen and follow
rules, but what if constant compliance comes with a long-term
cost? Dr. Becky talks with Dr. Sunita Sah, author of Defy: The
Power of No in a World that Demands Yes, about rethinking
defiance, the downsides of over-compliance, and helping kids
balance cooperation with self-respect.

Ever feel like you love your kid but don’t really like
them right now? Join Dr. Becky’s live workshop, “Why Is
Everything a Battle?”, on Wednesday, November 19th, to learn why
your “resilient rebel” acts the way they do—and get real
strategies to make power struggles easier. Visit
goodinside.com/defiance.


At Good Inside, we’re shifting the narrative - away from instinct
and toward education - because parenting isn’t something that
just comes naturally. And the first step to real, cycle-breaking
change? Understanding yourself—and the patterns you fall into.


I’ve said it before: every parent has a pattern. But have you
ever stopped to ask… what’s yours? Take the free quiz at
**goodinside.com/better** to discover your parenting pattern.


Good Inside is growing up! Listen to The In-Between Years with
Dr. Sheryl, for parents of teens and tweens!
