单集简介 ...

Your kid hits. Melts down the second you leave the house. Argues about everything, all day, every single day. You've tried the time-outs, the consequences, the calm-down corner. Nothing works. Why are we always at that cliff? Dr. Becky spent two hours in a Reddit thread literally called "Nothing Works" and pulled three real posts to build this episode. Her answer: you're intervening at the cliff, when the real leverage is on the road that led there. She walks through the exact minute-by-minute buildup (the snack request, the "just one more minute," the phone glance) where a parent could've exited before the blowup, plus scripts you can actually use. * Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: Pampers Easy Ups: Start your potty training journey with Peppa Pig Pampers Easy Ups Airbnb: Host your home or book your next stay on Airbnb LMNT: Get a free gift with your purchase at drinkLMNT.com/goodinside Little Spoon: Get 50% off your first order at littlespoon.com/rattled with code RATTLED Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • There's just something about summer that makes parents think, maybe this is the time to finally tackle potty training.

  • And if that's where you are right now, I want to offer a minor reframe.

  • Potty training isn't really about the potty.

  • Now, I know what you're thinking.

  • Um, Dr. Becky, what do you mean?

  • Potty is in the name.

  • But actually, it's really all about independence.

  • See, your kid wants to do more things on their own.

  • Your kid wants to build confidence and feel like a big kid.

  • That's why I like Pampers Easy Ups.

  • They fit and feel more like underwear than a diaper, so kids can practice pulling them up and down on their own.

  • And those moments of, I did it, really matter in confidence building.
