Parenting Kids with Big Feelings | Dr. Becky Kennedy, Good Inside Podcast | A Kids Co.

From explosive meltdowns and slammed doors to tears that seem to come out of nowhere, some kids simply feel everything more intensely. Joining host Elise Hu to unpack what parenting a deeply feeling kid or teen might look like is Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and host of the Good Inside podcast. She and Elise dive into Dr. Becky’s new children’s book Leave Me Alone, and what deeply feeling kids might really mean when they say “leave me alone.” Dr. Becky addresses what parents commonly see from deeply feeling kids in homes, and shares practical tips for better equipping our kids to handle life’s surprises, and what to do when emotions are big for all parties involved — parents and kids alike. 

Key Takeaways:

Deeply feeling kids are more porous to the world around them.

Learn independently, with, and from your kids on your parenting journey.

Welcome challenging, empowering, and important conversations with the kids in your life.

Stay calm and reframe yourself as a pilot and your child as turbulence during hard situations.

Spend a little extra time setting expectations to help reduce avoidable surprises.
