Protocols for Excellent Parenting & Improving Relationships of All Kinds | Dr. Becky Kennedy

Video Overview & Insights

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Becky Kennedy, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Good Inside, an education platform for parents and parents-to-be. We discuss actionable protocols for raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids and effective alternatives to typical forms of reward and punishment that instead teach children valuable skills and strengthen the parent-child bond. These protocols also apply to other types of relationships: professional, romantic, friendships, siblings, etc.

Thank you for this!!

We explain how to respond to emotional outbursts, rudeness, and entitlement, repair fractured relationships, build self-confidence, and improve interpersonal connections with empathy while maintaining healthy boundaries.

We also discuss how to effectively communicate with children and adults with ADHD, anxiety, learning challenges, or with “deeply feeling” individuals.

For the new watchers, start from 7:35

— @lamyaaelmaleh3529

The conversation is broadly applicable to all types of social interactions and bonds. By the end of the episode, you will have learned simple yet powerful tools to build healthy relationships with kids, teens, adults, and oneself.

Thank you to our sponsors

I love intaking this info to assess what is applicable for me, I do wish I could curate to the exact age group lol. How to implement some of these strategies with a newly 5 year old boy that has a ton of energy and deeply emotional as well as very strong and fast. Fast like a Ferrari and doesn’t know how to access brake systems 😅🙋🏻‍♀️

“ I hate you, I believe, is an emotion that is used by a child when they don’t know how to express the overwhelming feeling of no control. My response when my son was young was, I don’t care! Followed by, my job is not to try and make you like me, my job is to raise you to be a contributing member of society who is able to emotionally deal with the ups and downs of adult life. You don’t have to like me but you do have to respect me and follow the rules set in our home.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Becky. Especially with the way she explains things… I feel like I’m receiving things so much differently. And I have new tools on how I can improve my parenting. I’m so happy she is able to open my eyes on how to be a better parent.

Deeply feeling kids…is that due to an overactive nervous system? Sounds like a form of anxiety or Unregulated nervous system. Is it due to no co-regulation during the first 3 years of life? Baby’s nervous system needs to be taught by the caregiver. Curious.

I know pwople that absolutely believe that children are bad. Or that some kids will always be bad and were born bad.
I learned that children just need love from working at a daycare. I treated the nad kids so good and the dyacare teachers said, "dont do that, dont tell him you're his friend". But the "bad children" always responded so good to me.

So real prof. One of the best things ive heard this month. I think parenting in the age on AI and tech today is one of the more important concepts, because it's gen z's time to parent and our landscape today is vastly different then the generations before that we really need to know a lot and we cant afford to just wing it because who knows what consequences there are if we just parent like it's 2016. The world is becoming scarier day by day

Huberman, your content is so amazing, and I am learning a lot from you in all spheres of life. As a biblically based believer, I just want to comment on the info around minute 32:20 about “kids being inherently good.” I believe the Bible is clear that we are conceived and born into sin because of Adam and Eve choosing to want to be like God rather than obey God. This caused all of humanity to follow Adam and Eve and be born into sin.

Therefore, Jesus needed to be conceived in a supernatural way. Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit and not merely through the natural way of a man and a woman; otherwise, He would have been born into sin as well. On this basis, all kids are inherently inclined toward sin and disobedience. I am not saying kids are evil; I am saying that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (as Paul writes in the book of Romans) and cannot save ourselves. If we are inherently good, why do kids disobey? Why do some grow up and become drug addicts or murderers? If we are good inside, the evil we are inclined toward does not make sense.

But if we are honest about the fact that God made everything perfect, and it was good—He made Adam and Eve and said it was VERY good—then humanity sinned and chose against God, separating themselves from Him. We therefore need a Savior to save us from our sinfulness and fallen nature. God, being perfect love, gave up Jesus—who is God—to come in the form of a man and die on a cross to appease the wrath that a just and true God rightly has, in order to remain true to Himself. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father on high. Now, through this work, the free gift of salvation is available to everyone who chooses to receive it by faith in the work of Jesus and the cross.

I am a Young mother and psychotherapist for children and adults in Germany and Switzerland. I love the what you say about the old behavioural therapy. I had a lot of discussions with colleagues and I was so may times criticised for my “unscientific and too emotional” opinions. But this respect for the children is just common sense… although very challenging in the everyday life ❤

I think some faith practices such as Christianity, have the premise that humans are inherently evil or bad. That translates to children there is an underlying assumption that are naturally bad and you have to lead them to goodness. This is at least my experience, being raised in an extreme southern Baptist Christian household. 32:18

Loved the talk not the interviewer. Remove the lengthy sponsorship announcements, the frequent ads and rambling questions. Ask a concise question and let the interviewee speak.
