The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

Description

On this episode of the Knowledge Project, Shane asks his most pressing parenting questions to Dr. Becky Kennedy, a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and mother of three. 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 the psychology of teenagers, why it’s essential they 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. Kennedy is the #1 New York Timesbestselling 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.
