Raise Resilient Kids Without Punishment | Dr. Becky Kennedy

Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist and founder of Good Inside, explains why punishment-based parenting teaches the opposite of what parents intend. She shares the moment she stopped a paid therapy session to admit she no longer believed in the timeouts-and-sticker-charts model she was trained in. The conversation covers separating a child's identity from their behavior, the three grounding lines she uses with her own kids in hard moments, why boundaries make kids feel safe rather than controlled, and how frustration tolerance—not rescue—builds resilience. The concept of repair as the core parenting skill runs throughout.
