Dr. Becky's Carpool Q&A

DR. BECKY KENNEDY
About this episode

Something no one tells you about parenting? How much time you'll spend in the driver’s seat - chauffeuring your kid to school, playdates, soccer, birthday parties, you name it. That's why Dr. Becky partnered with Chomps to answer questions from parents like you about carpool. In this bonus episode, she shares how to make car rides easier and more meaningful.

You know that feeling when you're in the car, on your way to drop-off, and you're just trying to get your kid to eat one bite of their breakfast? Or when you’re on the way home from school, wishing there was a volume dial to turn down the meltdown happening in the backseat?

The back-to-school season is a lot, and moments like this are tough. That’s why I'm so excited to share that I teamed up with Chomps for a "Carpool Q&A," where I answered common questions from parents, like: What do I do when my kids fight constantly in the car? How can I help ease separation anxiety at drop off? And, what's the one song that's guaranteed to brighten the mood in my car? (I shared a personal favorite, and trust me, it's a good one....)

Because let’s be honest - car chaos is real. And when you add a hungry kid to the mix? Forget it. Chomps has got you covered on the snacks: Their meat sticks are easy to stash in backpacks or glove compartments and are a good source of protein, so you’ve got one less thing to stress about mid-commute. And Good Inside has you covered on everything else.
