In honor of Grandparents Day, Dr. Becky takes questions from both sides: She hears from parents who feel stuck between gratitude and frustration about their parents’ involvement, and from grandparents who feel both needed and dismissed. Together, these conversations highlight the messy and necessary reality of building strong, emotionally healthy families across generations.

We say it all the time at Good Inside: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish - it’s self-sustaining. But let’s be honest: Self-care can feel impossible without reliable childcare.

That’s where Sittercity comes in. It’s a trusted platform that makes it easier to find sitters who are kind, experienced, and show up when you need them. You can read real parent reviews, connect with sitters directly, and even set up interviews, all in one spot.

Whether you’re craving a solo errand run, a date night out, or need after school support, Sittercity can give you the logistical support you need to show up for yourself. Find a sitter or nanny that’s perfect for your family at sittercity.com and use code "goodinside" for 25% off the annual or quarterly premium subscription plans.

There’s always a moment - maybe two weeks into the school year - where I stop and think: “Wait, wasn’t summer just five minutes ago?”

Suddenly, we’re back in the rush of packing lunches, signing permission slips, and struggling to find a pair of matching socks every morning. That’s why I’ve started looking ahead to fall breaks now - before the long-weekend creeps up on me and feels less like a break, and more like being stuck at home for three days with three kids!

My go-to for quick getaways? Booking an Airbnb. It’s a reset that still feels like home: games and toys for the kids, a big living room for family movie nights, and even bunk beds that kids claim are “way better than our beds at home.”

Plus, do you ever think about how you can host your own home on Airbnb for another family to enjoy while you’re away? It’s a great way to earn a little extra income to put towards your own trip, school supplies, or next season’s cleats. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.

If you’re anything like me, you’re running out of summer activity ideas for your kids! Well, exciting news for parents everywhere: Good Inside just teamed up with the Play-Doh brand and Walmart to bring you a video series on how to help kids build life-long skills like imagination, confidence, and frustration tolerance - all through open-ended play! The best part: I promise this isn’t another thing to add to your already packed plate as a parent. No hours of prep, no need for picture-perfect setups. All you need is a Play-Doh can or two.

We also made a guide with “5 Steps to Open-ended Play” that you can literally download on the Good Inside blog and try today. (Full disclosure: I printed the guide out and stuck it on my fridge as a reminder for myself - after all, my kids get “mom” at home, not Dr. Becky!) Head to walmart.com/playdoh to watch the videos. I can’t wait to hear what your kid creates.

For the first time, we’re pulling back the curtain and sharing something usually reserved just for Good Inside Members - a live Q&A with Dr. Becky and Senior Good Inside Coach, Jamie Pfeffer. From dealing with bullying and hitting to navigating triggers, this conversation gives a peek inside the power of this community: real parents asking real questions - and getting unfiltered, empathetic, and practical support in return. Every question opens the door to powerful reframes and step-by-step strategies that will leave you feeling seen and encouraged. P.S. Have a question that didn’t make it into today’s episode? Join membership to access our daily “Ask a Coach” sessions and our 24/7 “Ask” feature in the Good Inside app (it's the closest thing to texting Dr. Becky!).

As soon as one of my kids sneezes, I know it’s only a matter of days before the whole house is feeling under the weather. With kids at school, they seem to bring home every sniffle and sneeze imaginable—and I’ve accepted that’s just part of parenting.

What I don’t accept anymore? The frantic 11 p.m pharmacy runs - when everyone’s already miserable and all we have is a half-used bottle of who-knows-what from who-knows-when in the pantry. Now, I make sure to stock up **ahead of time. And I always look for Mommy’s Bliss: They’ve been making safe, gentle wellness solutions, like their Organic Baby and Kids' cough syrups, for more than 25 years. That means an ingredient list you can actually understand: no high fructose corn syrup, no dyes, no artificial sweeteners, and free from the top nine allergens. Their Pain & Fever medicine is also a staple—it’s the first-ever Clean Label Project certified acetaminophen - and safe for infants.

Find Mommy’s Bliss in-store and online at major retailers. Your future self will thank you.

There’s always a moment - maybe two weeks into the school year - where I stop and think: “Wait, wasn’t summer just five minutes ago?”

Suddenly, we’re back in the rush of packing lunches, signing permission slips, and struggling to find a pair of matching socks every morning. That’s why I’ve started looking ahead to fall breaks now - before the long-weekend creeps up on me and feels less like a break, and more like being stuck at home for three days with three kids!

You know how people say they “need a vacation from their vacation”? I never got it. Then I experienced summer break as a parent.

Summer parenting can feel like a full-time job - so by the time back-to-school rolls around, I find myself wondering: “Okay, when’s the real break happening?” Because honestly, the most enjoyable trips we’ve taken as a family tend to happen during long weekends and fall breaks - no pressure for picture-perfect moments, no meltdowns from the heat, and no built-up tension after weeks of constant togetherness.

My go-to for these short and sweet trips? Booking an Airbnb: There’s space for everyone to spread out, a kitchen for easy meals, and separate bedrooms that let the grown-ups stay up after the kids go down.

But you know what’s even better? While you’re away, you can list your own home on Airbnb, too! Hosting on Airbnb is simple, flexible, and gives you a little extra income to put towards your own trip (or those mounting back-to-school costs). Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.

The back-to-school season is a lot, and moments like this are tough. That’s why I'm so excited to share that I teamed up with Chomps for a "Carpool Q&A," where I answered common questions from parents, like: What do I do when my kids fight constantly in the car? How can I help ease separation anxiety at drop off? And, what's the one song that's guaranteed to brighten the mood in my car? (I shared a personal favorite, and trust me, it's a good one....)

Because let’s be honest - car chaos is real. And when you add a hungry kid to the mix? Forget it. Chomps has got you covered on the snacks: Their meat sticks are easy to stash in backpacks or glove compartments and are a good source of protein, so you’ve got one less thing to stress about mid-commute. And Good Inside has you covered on everything else.

Sharpened pencils, new backpacks, picture-perfect outfits. Even if back-to-school season looks shiny on the outside, it often comes with a swirl of messy feelings for kids and parents! In this episode, Dr. Becky unpacks why starting school is more than just a change in schedule - and how to stay sturdy during the turbulence of transitions. She reframes regressive behaviors and offers practical strategies for building routines, so you and your child can feel more connected, resilient, and confident handling whatever this year throws your way. Plus, don't miss the back-to-school speed round - where Dr. Becky shares her own childhood lunchbox must-haves and fifth-grade pencil pouch confessions.

You know that feeling when you're in the car, on your way to drop-off, and you're just trying to get your kid to eat one bite of their breakfast? Or when you’re on the way home from school, wishing there was a volume dial to turn down the meltdown happening in the backseat?

I had this moment last year where I thought maybe my kids’ school calendar was going to get the best of me. Picture day, volunteer sign-ups, early dismissal on Tuesday... wait, which kid has which game?

If that sounds familiar, let me tell you about a life-saver: Skylight Calendar. It's designed to bring calm to your family's chaotic schedule. It pulls everyone's appointments, events, tasks, and lists into one simple touchscreen - right there in your home.

Skylight Calendar syncs seamlessly with all of your existing calendars - Google, Apple, Outlook, even directly from your email - giving you custom views for daily, weekly, or monthly planning. My favorite feature? “Tasks” helps kids build healthy routines, and you can even assign colors to each family member (“I always choose Good Inside yellow for myself”), eliminating confusion and those endless "I just forgot!” And with the Skylight app, you can instantly add or update anything on the go.

Right now, Skylight is offering our listeners $30 off their 15 inch Calendars by going to SkylightCal.com/BECKY.

We all know too much screen time isn’t good for kids—and our instinct as parents is to protect them from it. But when fear shapes how we manage screens at home, it can quickly turn into shame the moment they pick one up.

In today’s world, where screens are woven into so much of daily life, the real challenge is to face that reality with thoughtfulness - and to make choices guided by our values, not by guilt. In this episode, Dr. Becky sits down with screen time expert Ash Brandon, EdS (@thegamereducator) to talk about the moral judgments, practical boundaries, and family-specific choices that shape our approach to screens.

When it comes to school snacks, I’ve never been the “pack my kid a portable charcuterie board” kind of parent. If you are, more power to you. I’m more of a “grab-and-go” type - I want something simple, nutritious, and easy for my kids to reach for as we’re heading out the door. That’s why I like Chomps. Their full-size meat sticks have 10 grams of protein and zero sugar. They’re filling and made from real ingredients, so it’s one less thing to think about. And if you’ve ever opened your kid’s backpack to find a half-eaten snack from who-knows-when still wrapped up in there, Chomplings are great. They’re smaller sticks (the right size to toss in a lunchbox or that little front backpack pocket) with 4 grams of protein and zero sugar.

Chomps are made of high-quality ingredients like 100% grass-fed beef, venison, and antibiotic-free turkey. They’re also free from the top nine allergens, so you don’t have to worry about sending them to school. Check out all the sizes and delicious flavors at Chomps.com/DRBECKY for 15% off plus free shipping.

Head to walmart.com/playdoh to watch the videos. That’s walmart.com/playdoh. I can’t wait to hear what your kid creates.

In this episode of Good Inside with Dr. Becky, we dive into the magic of imaginative play - why it’s so important for kids, and why it can feel surprisingly challenging for parents to join in.

Dr. Becky explores how pretend play nurtures curiosity, problem-solving, and emotional growth, giving children the space to wonder, dream, and practice being in the world. But she also normalizes the truth for many parents: stepping into a child’s world of imagination isn’t always easy, and that doesn’t make you a bad parent.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for not loving playtime, this episode will change the way you see both yourself and your child’s incredible capacity for imagination.

Consent. It’s a word that feels loaded, emotionally charged, and deeply important. In this episode, Dr. Becky lays the groundwork for what it means to model consent in everyday parenting - helping kids build self-trust, practice setting boundaries, and know their voice matters. She offers practical language, powerful reframes, and grounded guidance for walking the line between honoring a child’s autonomy and staying steady in your role as the parent. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Becky unpacks the emotional weight consent can carry- and shows how even the smallest moments can help our kids feel safe, seen, and respected.

In this powerful and intimate episode, Dr. Becky shares the never-before-told story behind the original Deeply Feeling Kid (DFK) - her daughter. For the first time, she opens up about what it was really like parenting a child with big emotions: the moments of connection, the moments of struggle, and the internal battles no one else could see.

With raw honesty and deep reflection, Dr. Becky explores how this personal journey challenged her, changed her, and ultimately led to the creation of one of her most impactful parenting programs.

If you’ve ever felt unsure how to show up for your DFK - you’re not alone. This episode is for you.

If your kid melts down quickly, struggles to calm, and avoids talking about feelings, you might be raising a Deeply Feeling Kid. And summer’s lack of structure and sensory overload can push everyone to the edge. Join Dr. Becky’s live DFK workshop at 12pm or 8pm EDT on Wednesday, July 16 (RSVP here). ****Can’t attend live? We’ve got you - the workshop will be recorded and available in the Good Inside member library soon.

Why does a messy house feel so overwhelming? In this episode, Dr. Becky unpacks the deeper emotional roots behind why physical clutter—like the laundry pile or the half-unpacked suitcase—can feel like a personal failure instead of just “stuff.” She explores how mess stirs feelings of chaos, shame, and “not enoughness,” especially for parents carrying the invisible mental load.

You’ll hear why mess taps into childhood messages, cultural myths around “good moms,” and our very real need for control and completion. Plus: practical tools for separating self-worth from clutter, listener questions, and a powerful reminder—you are not your mess.

If you've ever felt like the state of your home says something about you, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Sittercity. We talk a lot about support at Good Inside—emotional support, community, not having to figure out parenting on your own. Sometimes, you also need logistical support. Like, someone to watch your kid so you can make that meeting, run those errands, or finally catch up with a friend. That’s where Sittercity can be a really helpful tool. Their platform gives you a trusted way to find sitters who are kind, experienced, and show up when you need them. You can read reviews from other parents, message sitters directly, and set up interviews—all in one spot. If you’ve been meaning to find a sitter but didn’t know where to begin, this is going to make it feel a whole lot easier. Go to Sittercity.com and use the code “goodinside" for 25% off the annual or quarterly premium subscription plans.

Puberty is starting earlier—and for many parents, it’s arriving before they or their kids feel ready. In this episode, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, author of The Crucial Years: Early Interventions in Education and Childcare, to unpack why puberty today looks so different for our kids than it did for us—and what caregivers can do to support them through it.

If your family is anything like mine, it can feel like there are a thousand things to remember and your brain is running on overdrive.

It’s a central, easy-to-see touchscreen with clear colors, so everyone in your family can stay in the loop.
