You’re Not a Bad Parent, You’re Overwhelmed

You’re Not a Bad Parent, You’re Overwhelmed

These past few weeks have been among the most challenging I’ve experienced with our kids, like, ever. After one too many moments when I felt like the worst version imaginable of myself as a father, I stumbled upon this new episode from Trevor Noah’s podcast. What a breath of fresh air! A wonderful conversation with clinical psychologist and parenting expert Dr. Becky. Full of new insights, apt reminders, and anecdotes that are so relatable you can’t help but laugh. So, if you have kids in your life, this two-hour conversation is a gift you deserve. It delivers a complete recharge of your ability to be empathetic towards tantrum-throwing kids, and to be kind with yourself.
