Is It True? “Nobody Knows What They’re Doing”

You’ve probably said it—or heard it: “Nobody knows what they’re doing.” It’s meant to comfort us as parents. And sometimes it does. But… is it actually true?

You’ve probably said it—or heard it:

“Nobody knows what they’re doing.”

It’s meant to comfort us as parents. And sometimes it does.

But… is it actually true?

In this episode of our ongoing Is It True?
series, Dr. Becky and Myleik Teele take a closer look at this
belief—and what might be more helpful to hold onto instead.

They explore:

Why this idea can feel relieving… and also limiting

The pressure to “prove” you’re a good parent in hard moments

What it really looks like when a parent does know what
they’re doing

And the powerful role of curiosity—about
your child and yourself

Through real-life moments (public meltdowns, getting hit in a
school line, vacation chaos), they show how parenting isn’t about
having it all figured out—but about learning, adjusting, and
building skills over time.
