Hey listeners, today's episode is an encore of the Good Inside podcast.
We're revisiting it to celebrate the release of Dr.
Becky's new children's book, Leave Me Alone, a good inside story about deeply feeling kids.
Wondering if you have a deeply feeling kid or curious about the many ways we support deeply feeling kids and their parents?
Check out the episode description to learn more.
I really feel like my kid has more intense tantrums and meltdowns than any other kid.
I really feel like those meltdowns last longer.
I also feel like they're more intense.
And I swear,
I swear I am doing the things that psychologists say that I read and they're making things worse.
Now, this is the type of situation I was in myself.
And it felt almost gaslighting.
I felt like, wait, am I just doing it wrong?
Is something wrong with me?
Is something wrong with my kid?
And then everything changed.
When I realized, holy moly, no,
I just have a kid who is a little bit different than some other kids.
And I need to understand this kid.
I need to figure out interventions that actually work.
