Good Inside

A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be

“Dr. Becky” as she is called by followers of her work prioritizes connection with kids over correcting their behaviors. For parents struggling with the load of caregiving day in and day out, this updated model of parenting refocuses on raising little humans. The Ford Family Foundation staff who read this book recommend it because it starts from the premise that most people, especially children, are good inside — even if their behavior does not match in the moment. Read this for a fresh, non-judgmental view of parenting and life advice.

Good Inside includes a troubleshooting guide for specific scenarios like sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums and more.

Dr. Becky Kennedy has created a resource I’ll return to often as a parent, educator and group facilitator. I love the practicality and bite sized approach to this book, and find her wisdom to be practical, encouraging and hope bringing.

This book is a must read and a must re-read as well. The ideas and strategies set us up to maintain the self-esteem of our children and for the parents to see them in a different light as well. Everyone deserves to feel good inside.
