In this Deep Dive episode, mothers Jessica and Joanna come to Dr...
episode 9: I Struggle With Codependency. How Do I Raise My Kids Differently?
One of the best things we can do as parents is recognize the traits we need to repair in ourselves, so we don't unintentionally pass them on to our kids.

In this episode, Dr. Becky hears from three parents with codependent tendencies working to show up differently for their children...
episode 8: Talking With Your Kids About Private Parts, How Babies Are Made, and More...

episode 5: Deep Dive: Myriam Sandler of MOTHERCOULD on Frustration Tolerance and Sibling Dynamics
We want our kids to know what they want and stand up for their beliefs—and we want them to be flexible and get along with others. In this Deep Dive episode, Myriam Sandler of MOTHERCOULD comes to Dr. Becky for advice on helping her oldest daughter in moments of intense frustration: the ones that lead to shutting down and declaring "It's all ruined now!" or "I'm not doing it anymore!" As Dr...
episode 4: What Should I Say When My Kid Is Afraid?
How do we help our children face what feels scary? In this episode, Dr. Becky hears from three parents looking for ways to help their kids work through fears.
