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. Thanks to Carter’s, Good Inside’s new Confidence Program is free for every family for the next six months. Click here to learn more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
