There are no adequate words to express the horror of the ongoing LA wildfires. It’s completely understandable if you feel worried, out of control, or stunned. Parenting is hard enough on a “normal” day, but in times like these—when a natural disaster adds an emotional and mental toll—it can feel almost impossible. Dr. Becky recently held a virtual event for parents affected by these wildfires - this episode is the recording of that event. Together they connect, hold space for one another, discuss ways to support your kids during this time, and explore how you can find your own strength amidst uncertainty.   Free resource for parents navigating the California Wildfires: https://www.goodinside.com/article/10268/resources-for-parents-navigating-the-california-wildfires/?sharehash=d85335a0-2915-4ffd-8bf1-970048497bcf Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: https://tinyurl.com/2333cvad Follow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside Sign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletter Order Dr. Becky's book, Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, at goodinside.com/book or wherever you order your books.
