Breaking The Cycle & Becoming A Better Parent with Dr. Becky Kennedy

<p>Amy's geeking out because she follows Dr. Becky on IG (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside/">@DrBeckyAtGoodInside</a>) and her posts have helped Amy out numerous times...so she couldn't be more excited that Dr. Becky now has a book out!!! Before they get into what her book is all about...Amy did a little '4 Things Gratitude' icebreaker to get to know Dr. Becky better (she told us a book, tv show, food/drink, and an Instagram follow that she's currently thankful for...you will love the stuff she shares!!)</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. Becky's book is 'Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be' and Adam Grant's endorsement sums up nicely what you can expect from it: <em>"Warning: reading this book might make you a better parent. Whether you're struggling to get your toddler to calm down or your teenager to open up, Becky Kennedy is a fountain of wisdom. She strikes the ideal balance between affirming your best instincts and challenging you to rethink your worst reactions." </em></p> <p> </p> <p>In addition to talking about what GOOD INSIDE is all about...Amy and Dr. Becky discuss two things being true at the same time, breaking the cycle, self-care, the importance of repairs, how we define our job as parents, connecting with teens, and more!</p> <p> </p> <p>More on what GOOD INSIDE explores: </p> <p>-Prioritizing Resilience over happiness for our kids<br>-Creating “connection capital,” a reserve of positive feelings we hopefully build up with our children, which we can pull from in times of struggle or when the relationship between us gets strained<br>-Detecting and reducing shame<br>-Telling kids the truth and why information empowers kids, not scares them</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goodinside.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7Cc6f11e3c660b4edbc91408da7fa7ee0d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637962656476071738%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C30
