I'm Dr Becky and this is good inside.

I feel sort of like a panicky feeling and doubt I guess is the biggest thing I feel, doubt that is she

maybe not ready or is, am I attached too much to her anxiety and can't separate myself from her feelings.

But I think the biggest thing for me is just doubting whether or not I'm making the right decision.

Back to school.

It is such an anxiety filled time.

Whether you have a toddler who's starting school for the first time,

or a kindergartner who's making that huge transition

to elementary school, or maybe you just have an anxious kid where separation

is often full of protest and tears. It makes sense that this time of year is full of questions and worries.

Today I talk to a mom who's thinking about her daughter's

upcoming transition and the way to manage it best. We'll be right back. So recently my family took a weekend trip out of the city and we booked a place on

Airbnb and I noticed something I wanted to share with you. The Airbnb we booked had bunk beds

and air hockey in the basement. These are things my kids don't have at home.

And so do you know what happened? The house itself felt like a vacation.

And I'm telling you this for a really important reason.

that my husband and I actually got time to talk

to each other while sitting on a couch and so we kind of had our own vacation.

To save you time I want to tell you exactly how I found this
