  • Revisit - A Plate of Shame
    Mar 11 2025

    This is a repeat of an earlier episode. Going out to dinner is not what it once was if you are bringing your kids. What used to be an easy book a restaurant and go, is a bit more complicated when it's a party bigger than two. But we all need a break! We all deserve dinner out with or without our kids. This week, Dr. Becky talks to a parent about the public shaming she recently received when she took her kids out for an early sushi dinner.

    Today’s episode is brought to you by Life360:
    As older kids approach their teen years, we want them to feel more independent. And this is also true: When we’re no longer the ones getting them from point A to point B, we need to know they’ve made it to their destination. So, what's one way we can keep our teens safe while validating their (developmentally appropriate) need for separation? Good Inside just teamed up with Life360, the leading family safety app that helps parents navigate this delicate balance, to bring you a FREE video series on how to talk about tough topics, like peer pressure and curfews, with your teen. With customized locations for frequent destinations like school and practice, automated arrival notifications, and even driving reports that help teach good behind-the-wheel habits, Life360 lets teens spread their wings while giving parents peace of mind.

    Today’s episode is brought to you by Lolleez:
    As a mom of three, cough and cold season can be brutal, so Dr. Becky is always on the lookout for products that make it easier. Lolleez throat soothing pops work so well to treat sore throats and since they’re a flat lollipop and taste amazing, kids will actually take them. Such a smart idea, especially for young kids who can’t gargle or have throat lozenges! The best part? Lolleez are certified organic and made with ingredients you can actually pronounce—plus, they come in fun, kid-approved flavors like Birthday Cake, Strawberry, and Watermelon! And let’s be real: if your kids have it, you’re probably next in line. So they also make Sootheez, throat soothing drops for adults – same clean ingredients, and delicious flavors like Watermelon Mint and Berry Lemonade. You can find Lolleez and Sootheez at Target and Walmart or online at TheEezCo.com.

Wow! The Voices in our Head!

This was an enlightening episode, fascinating, really! We all do have different voices and I loved how we can ask our calm self to stay. Things go better when that self stays. When we are sick or tired and do or say things we regret it is very important to repair! Go back apologize and tell them how you wished you would have handled it. I also loved how you praised the mom that was just present with her child.

The best parenting advice available.

I am a parent coach myself and the father of four year old twin boys. I have read lots of books about parenting young children and have appreciated the value of many parenting “experts.” Listening (binging) to Dr.Becky over the last month has solidified many of my ideas and really helped me with lots of practical ideas to support my children. She covers it all. Nervous system regulation, boundaries, emotional validation and does this while affirming the emotional toll that comes with being a parent. I bow to Dr. Becky’s insight and creative, honest exploration of her own parenting process. I listened to these podcasts while riding my bike to work and there were many times I was pumping my fists in the air knowing that other parents are learning these skills and helping to create a healthier future for their children. Thank you Dr. Becky.

Hands down, Dr. Becky is EVERYTHING!

“Parenting is so easy!” said no one ever... and PS, there is no handbook... until now. Dr. Becky is my go to source for parenting techniques and I swear by her golden nuggets of practical and realistic advice. I even catch my own “self talk” shifting from a place of shame and blame to curiosity and nurturing. She is a total family game changer. I am a huge HUGE fan and highly recommend this podcast, her IG, workshop and anything else! Thank you for including us in your journey, Dr. Becky! You are such an inspiration!

Not impressed.

As a mom of two, degree in ECE, and over 10 years of working with young children this podcast is not something I’m impressed with. I listened to two of them. I will be looking for a better approach to positive reinforcement and natural consequences.
