Dr. Becky Kennedy

I don't get to see my friends nearly the way I used to. They probably often are like, where's Becky? Why is she not, you know, not only responding to texts, but remembering my birthday or whatever I forget. And that doesn't feel good to me because I used to do more of that. And so... No one has it all figured out. Like, humans, I think, are remarkably complicated, remarkably imperfect.

We all have parts of us that feel really good, and maybe some of us play up those parts more than others. And we all have parts of us that feel confusing, maybe have some shame, feel, you know, I don't know, just more complicated. And so I at least want to get that out there about myself.

Incredible.

Incredible.

Incredible.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I guess my first reaction is I'm reacting to the word pushing because I'm not sure that's the... Like, the verb I would think about. Because I think the idea of pushing your kid, even, like, how much do I push? There's a lot about us there. It's like, is that my desire?

Oh, I mean, I grew up in a town where every kid got pushed. So maybe that's why I know something about it, right? I mean, I think we see this all the time. And it goes back to actually what side of the tennis court. Like, whose feelings are whose? Like... Is this my unlived dreams as an athlete in my youth, or is this actually about my kids' soccer skills?

You know, I think parents watching their kids playing sports is a prime example of, am I living out my unfulfilled dreams and projecting that onto my daughter? Or does my daughter like soccer? And, like, how can I really differentiate those, right? I think actually, though, making it back to that, a lot of this actually goes back to frustration tolerance and why it matters so much to me.

Like my approach to teaching frustration tolerance, which is like a hidden gem we have here at Couldn't Side, I really want to be in every school. I think it needs to be in every school. And I want to describe it to you, okay? So I literally have this graph. It's helpful. And I know you like to write things down too to make it concrete. We're like point one is not knowing how to do something.
