Stop Trying to Make Your Kid Feel Good About Themselves

Episode Summary

Dr. Becky says: maybe confidence isn’t what we think it is.

Episode Notes

Two parents came to Dr. Becky on the same day, both worried about their kid's confidence. One had a kid who wouldn't join the group. The other had a teenager who wouldn't leave the group. Dr. Becky says: maybe confidence isn’t what we think it is. She breaks down what confidence actually means, then she names three things well-meaning parents do that quietly work against building that kind of confidence.
