Repeat after me, “My job is not to make my kid happy.” We don’t want to optimize our kids for short-term comfort. We want to optimize for long-term resilience. That means teaching our kids how to sit with uncomfortable feelings, not offering our kids a quick exit ramp.
Screen time is top of mind for parents these days. And it all comes back to this: as parents, our number one job is to keep our kids safe - not happy. Setting boundaries and tolerating our kids’ distress (and anger at us!) is a critical skill in Sturdy Parenting.
Watch out for the Fast-Forward Error. It looks like this: your kid hits a friend and you fast-forward to, “My kid is a sociopath, my kid will be in jail one day.” Come back to today. You have a good kid. And you’re going to figure it out.
Confidence isn’t feeling like you’re the best. Confidence is feeling like it’s OK to be you when you’re not the best.
Confidence isn’t feeling good about yourself. Confidence is self-trust. When a kid is upset, we build confidence by saying “I believe you” and we actually lower confidence by saying “Come on, it’s not such a big deal.”
Parenting Myth: Yelling messes kids up. Parenting Truth: It’s yelling + *not repairing* that’s terrifying and overwhelming to kids. Solution: Repair. Action: Learn how to repair and why it matters. Click here: ted.com/talks/becky_ke…
A 15-second intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s life. My TED talk dropped today - and I can’t wait for you to see it. ted.com/talks/becky_ke…
Things kids need to hear: - “I’m so glad you’re my kid.” - “You don’t need to be perfect to be loved.” - “I believe you.” - “We can get through this together.” - “Even when you struggle in the outside, you remain good inside.” … What did you need to hear when you were a kid?
Boundaries are what we tell our kid we will do - and they require a kid to do nothing. “Stop jumping on the couch” and “We don’t hit” aren’t boundaries - they’re requests.
If we want kids to tolerate frustration, we have to tolerate their frustration. If we want kids to tolerate disappointment, we have to tolerate their disappointment. Big idea: Kids can’t learn to tolerate the feelings we don’t tolerate in them.
we often find ourselves remarkably unprepared for our most challenging and important job: parenting. dr. becky and @GoodInside team have changed the way I parent, and they’re doing a special event for dads w/ @aplusk - fellow dads, seriously worth a look: rb.gy/j4xp1
Dr. Becky Kennedy, host of the "Good Inside with Dr. Becky" podcast, tells us how the @goodinside approach can reshape how we view both ourselves as parents and our children. whatfreshhellpodcast.com/best-of-dr-bec…
