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

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.
