Dr. Becky Kennedy: The Parenting Secrets That Will Make Your Kids Love You When They're 14 and 40

Video Description

Shane asks Dr. Becky Kennedy—a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and mother of three—his most pressing parenting questions. Dr. Becky discusses how to set proper boundaries for your kids, how that differs from making requests, and how you can use the same strategy with your partner. Kennedy also explains teenagers' psychology, why they must stray from their parents, and how we can teach our teens confidence and resilience as they grow up. Shane and Dr. Kennedy also discuss how we learn to regulate our emotions, how we can recover from blowouts with our kids, why kids will learn to blame themselves, and why it’s important to approach children with curiosity when trying to understand the challenges in their lives. Kennedy also answers questions from Shane’s parenting peers about screen time, competitive sports, and what happens to our relationships with our kids when adolescence ends. Dubbed the “The Millennial Parenting Whisperer” by TIME Magazine, Dr. Becky Kennedy is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be." She also hosts “Good Inside with Dr Becky,” the top kids and family show on Apple Podcasts. -- 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - Boundaries, defined 09:50 - Learning to speak in boundary language as an adult 17:30 - How to determine whether the relationship with your kid is healthy…or not 25:00 - Building confidence and resiliency in kids 29:09 - Handling Disappointment 29:54 - 3 Specific lines to use to open a conversational door 33:05 - How to handle your kids when they don’t take responsibility for their outcomes 40:20 - How the stories we tell ourselves damage our relationships 44:30 - How can adults learn to regulate their emotions? 54:17 - How to repair a relationship after a huge outburst? 01:09:44 - How to handle someone’s feelings when you don’t agree with what they’re saying 01:20:44 - How to deal with your kids’ screen time habits 01:31:50 - Is it okay to bribe your kids with rewards for good behavior? 01:43:45 - When does adolescence actually end? 01:46:30 - Is the intense environment of competitive sports bad? 01:47:43 - Why do parents wrap so much of our identity in our kids? 01:50:38 - Dr. Becky Kennedy’s definition of success -- OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: https://fs.blog/newsletter/ 📈  OUR MOST POPULAR INTERVIEWS 🎬  The Full Story of Naval Ravikant: https://youtu.be/mGY2To_HW98 🎬  Bill Ackman - Getting Back Up: https://youtu.be/mIS3LYxgVWc 🎬  Secrets to Healthy Relationships with Esther Perel: https://youtu.be/atXKntdX2UY 🎙 Listen to the show  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-knowledge-project-with-shane-parrish/id990149481 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VyK52NSZHaDKeMJzT4TSM?si=abde3cc6a48d43ef GET IN TOUCH 🌍 Our website - www.fs.blog JOIN OUR COMMUNITY https://fs.blog/membership/ ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE PROJECT Like the mentor you’ve always dreamed of having, The Knowledge Project shares timely yet timeless lessons for work and life.
