The "More" Kids

DR. BECKY KENNEDY
About this episode

Some kids are just more. More emotional. More resistant. More reactive. Just more. Dr. Becky thinks of them as Deeply Feeling Kids and author and parenting activist, Debbie Reber of Tilt Parenting, thinks of them as Differently Wired. Today, Debbie joins Dr. Becky to discuss different frameworks and strategies for parents of kids who are just more.

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.
