Sleep. Precious sleep. It's the rare commodity that all parents and kids need more of. And it's a cruel irony that at night, parents and kids have completely opposite needs. Kids want more connection. And parents just want some time to themselves. On today's episode, Dr. Becky tackles sleep struggles and gets to the root cause of what causes them. She also offers hope to tired parents everywhere.

This is a repeat of an earlier episode. When your kid comes home from school and declares "I'm the worst at math" or "everyone is better at gymnastics than me", you might think that you can teach them to believe in themselves with some words of encouragement. But confidence doesn't come from the outside. True confidence comes from feeling good enough inside. This week, Dr. Becky talks to a mom who is doing all the right things to teach her son to believe in himself but it just isn?t working.

Today?s episode is brought to you by Airbnb: After years of traveling together, Dr. Becky now loves staying on Airbnb so that their vacation can feel, well, more like a vacation. On a recent trip to visit family in Chicago, she found the perfect family-friendly Airbnb that had toys for her youngest, family games for all of them, and even the same book series her eldest was in the middle of reading - oh, and gave her and her husband a living room so they could have time to themselves after the kids went to bed. Talk about an all-around win. Did you also know that while you?re away, your home could be an Airbnb for another family? It?s a great way to earn some extra money to use on your family?s next vacation. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.

What do you do when you give your teen a phone and everything you were worried about comes true? They stopped reading books like they used to. They never leave their room without their phone. Their grades slip. They're getting into trouble socially. Can you take the phone away? Should you? And if you do, how should you go about it? This week, Dr. Becky fields a few phone concerns and questions from her producer, Jesse Baker.

It's time to reframe defiance. When our kids don't listen to us or are being "defiant" by doing the complete opposite of what we've asked them to do, it's important to remember that they are still good kids. They are good kids who need firm and loving boundaries, connection, and to feel a little powerful on occasion. This week, Dr. Becky chats with a mom struggling with her son's "defiant" behavior and who's looking for a way to reconnect and repair with him.

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.

What happens when two become three, or four, or five? Who is responsible for the needs and wants of a couple when days are filled with playdates, pick-ups, and meal preps? Nights lack the erotic energy that couples need not only to survive but to thrive.

Our kids often ask us questions that wish we could buy ourselves a little more time for before we had to answer. Recently, Dr. Becky helped prep two dads of twin toddlers for some existential questions they know are coming their way. Together, they talk through letting go of the idea that we, as parents, can be everything to our kids.

This is an edited version of an earlier episode.

Becoming a parent is really hard. And part of what makes it hard is the unrealistic narrative about what parenthood should feel like. In this episode, Dr. Becky has a real, say-it-how-it-is discussion about parenthood with one of her favorite new friends, Myleik Teele. While no podcast episode can single-handedly make parenthood any easier, this one will help you feel less alone in all the tricky moments that are sure to come.
