AFTER READING GOOD INSIDE BY BECKY KENNEDY: 10 Lessons I Learned About Parenting With Compassion – Reflections on Raising Emotionally Healthy Kids In the quiet moments before bedtime, after the day’s clashes have subsided and when the living room lights dim, something usually happens in the houses of millions of women around America. Finally parents, who are still vibrating from tantrums an hour before, and a long dinner-table negotiation before that, sit down and immediately start second-guessing. Was I too harsh today? Should I have let her cry it out? Why did that tiny comment sting so much? This internal monologue, at once brutal and gentle, is the subtext of modern parenting. It’s there, quiet but persistent in the background, a hum of doubt that crescendos with every decision, every disciplinary measure. In Good Inside, Dr. Becky Kennedy gave voice to that hum. She didn’t try to silence it. Instead, she listened to it—and then rewrote the script. I hadn’t been on the search for a parenting manual when I came across her work. I needed reassurance — an antidote to the guilt that whispers its way through so many of the parenting decisions I make. Grab a copy of this book now!
