So today I want to jump into what I think is one of the most important things with our kids.

Connection.

And while we all know that word connection, I get it, connect with my kid, yep, yep.

I think it's actually misunderstood because often I hear from people, oh, you want me to connect with my kid when they're angry and nasty and engaging all this bad behavior.

And on some level, I think we've all internalized the idea that

connection reinforces bad behavior. And then we almost withhold it or we find ourselves not

wanting to give it. And this is what I want to talk about today because I know that in our busy lives, I know that as we're

dealing with the day to day of parenting, the thing that makes it all more manageable is feeling

more connected to our kid. And figuring out what that means in little manageable ways to do

that, well, that's what I really want to give

you by the end of this episode. Because I think by the end, you'll take a deep breath and say,

oh, okay, I can do that. And hopefully even I'm going to do that. I'm Dr. Becky, and this is good inside.

We'll be back right after this.

If your home is anything like mine, the season of germs is upon us.

Every week, it seems like there's a new bug going around school.

It goes through each of my kids, then my husband, and me, until we're all down for the count.

That's why I love Mommy's Bliss. They offer the first clean label project certified line of pain and fever medicine for infants and kids, as well as safe and gentle organic cough

syrups. Whether your kid is struggling with a cough, a fever, or the flu, Mommy's Bliss has a

product that isn't just safe for them. It's made for them. That means free of dyes, artificial

flavors, and corn syrup. Because when your kid isn't feeling well, you want

something that's going to give you peace of mind and bring them relief so your family can get

back to your daily routine. You can find Mommy's Bliss at major drugstores and retailers
