Summary

Wildly popular parenting expert Dr Becky Kennedy shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids in a way that feels good.

Over the past several years, Dr Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as ‘Dr Becky’—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritises connecting with our kids over correcting them.

From reward charts to time-outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behaviour, not raising humans. These techniques don’t build the skills kids need for life or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents’ complicated relationships with their own upbringings and it’s easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they’re failing their kids.

In Good Inside, Dr Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership. Offering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.

Critic reviews

“Dr. Becky is profoundly changing the way we parent our kids and the way we parent ourselves. Her innovative work shows parents how to challenge inherited beliefs and behaviors and shift the paradigm of how we understand family dynamics. Her work is proof that we can be the parents we want to be–and that we are all good inside." — Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back

"Dr. Becky teaches parents that the foundation of child-rearing is building a solid relationship with their child and offering themselves grace along the way. Captivating and timely, Good Inside is a book parents can turn to at every stage of development, from infancy to adulthood, to continue building connection with their kids." — Nedra Tawwab, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace

"At a time when parents are sorely lacking in stamina and resources, Dr. Becky's wise words and deep insights offer a treasure trove of practical strategies and essential support. Good Inside is the book we all need right now, and the book that will continue to guide us for years to come." — Reshma Saujani, Founder of Girls Who Code and author of Pay Up

An important book for everyone, not only parents.

"Good Inside" is an excellent book about parenting, inspiring and full of concrete and practical examples. But it's more than that. Dr. Becky made me really think about my relationship with myself, how I see and talk to myself. Overall, a fascinating and enlightening book for everyone, not only parents and caregivers.

The best book on parenting you could ask for

I absolutely loved every chapter of this book. I took a lot of notes. Dr Becky’s strategies are spot on. I am going to buy a hard copy now as I know I will be coming back to it again.

Paranting just became more interesting!

Loved it immediately! The book offers answers to the questions you have when raising kids. I think it is also suitable not only for your kids but for your relationships at all, even with yourself. I purchased the hard copy as well, definitely will use it. Thank you Dr. Becky!

Everything she says makes so much sense

One of the best books I've read on parenting. She understands kids and people in general so well. This book is full of empathy which this world needs so much. Found every word interesting, easy to understand and very useful. I will read (listen to) it again and will surely recommend to other people.

So true

Even if you don’t read the “problem solving” sections - the first half of this book should be played on repeat at maternity classes. Parenting is really hard at times and this book really makes things feel smoother.

Not possible to stop listening…

After listening to Dr Becky’s podcasts I was keen to try her book. I’ve listened to the entire book in three days and I’m blown away by the practical learnings that I can start to apply as a parent. I will listen to this book over and over as my kids grow up. Forever grateful for Dr Becky writing this book.

Two things are true!!

This book will make you reflect and it will help you to challenge/change your long held limiting parenting beliefs/assumptions.

I have been watching/listening Dr B’s Instagram post and podcast since 2020 which was great source of support being a new parent in a crazy world at the time.

This book is the cherry on the top.

A refreshing approach that demonstrates to every parent how to become the best version of themselves, so they can be fully present in their children’s lives underpinned by good inside values.

Thank you Dr Becky, keep spreading the good light and energy around the world.

Fantastic book that I will return to again and again

This is the best parenting book I have ever read - and I've read a few. So many lessons for me as a Mum and as a person. it's delivered so brilliantly too - gentle coaching rather than preaching. lots of practical tips and worked through scenarios. i also couldn't put it down - delivered brilliantly. thank you - this book is a real life changer
