Truth: Feeding small children is hard and stressful. But here's another truth: You are a good parent even if your kid is only eating crackers right now. You are a good parent even if your kid hasn't touched a vegetable in months. And you are a good parent if you are bottle feeding instead of breastfeeding. What your child eats or doesn't eat isn't an indication of your parenting. This week Dr. Becky and Megan McNamee of Feeding Littles get real and deep about feeding small children and everything it can bring up.Join Good Inside Membership: bit.ly/3yV6YgHFollow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterOrder 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.Today’s episode is brought to you by Little Spoon: Little Spoon gives parents the freedom to choose how they spend their time, without sacrificing quality food.

Sorry, but you can control who you’re children hang out with. That’s actually part of being a parent. Your child doesn’t know at the age of nine. Who is that association and who isn’t. This is how teenage girls get pregnant while hanging out with the wrong crowd. This is just ridiculous. The first 30 seconds you saying that you can’t control who your kids hang out with I just stop listening. This kind of crunchy granola gentle parenting is what is problematic in the system now. You cannot let your children do whatever they want. It’s called guidance. 
I was so eagerly waiting for this episode. thank you!!! these strategies make sense and are practical. thank you so much for doing this!
such a great episode! I love the practical strategies. I keep telling everyone "Yes! sharing IS caring, but caring is NOT only sharing! we can care in other ways!" but I really would like to have a child who is compassionate and can play nicely with her / his friends.
So useful 🤓🙏❤️
I loved this episode. I listened to it once before but decided to listen again given all that's going on and it resonates so well. I lost my grandfather when I was 5. He passed away in his sleep. For years after that I had trouble sleeping because I was worried I'd wake up to see my parents and loved ones are dead. I still am anxious about this! but learnt to live with it. I am glad I'm equipped to discuss this hard topic with my kids when they start asking questions. Thank you once again Dr. Becky.
I am not able to play/download this episode. Is there an issue?
I’ve been getting so much out of your podcasts. Thank you for the work that you are doing.
Hi. I'm sorry i need to text podcast. where i can find text?
I hope I haven’t overlooked it but my 1 yo fights her sleep hard. Always has. But it’s starting to take a toll on my husband and I. We never have any us time bc she fights her naps and her bed time. Could you please give me some insight? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
👏👏👍
What we do with our kids is teach them firearm safety with nerf guns. Keep the finger off the trigger, never point at a person, act as if the gun is alwaysloaded, real guns are for catching food and protecting. Aslo, of course don't touch. Real guns are for killing. We live in the foothills so it may be different for us. idk. I think our kids will fear what we fear.
👏👏👍
Something that hit so hard here in this podcast/this Deep Dive!!! "annoying to be a kid" My 6yo Hazel says to me "I just want to be a parent because we can do whatever we want!" I have never really looked at it as her way of being in charge AMAZING!!
parenting is hard. grateful for your podcast and all the pratical tips u share!
I have been following Dr. Becky’s IG channel for a while now and am so incredibly grateful for her work! She models a loving, assertive and connecting parenting approach. Thank you Dr. Becky for what you’re bringing to our children, nieces and nephews, inner children, and partners.
