Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Good Inside
Becky Kennedy · 2022
82/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Becky Kennedy's No. 1 New York Times bestseller reframes the hardest parenting moments by starting from a single conviction: your child is fundamentally good inside, even in the worst tantrum. The practical scripts for meltdowns, sibling conflict, and boundary-setting are genuinely useful, and she normalizes parental struggle without piling on guilt. Faith families may need to add their own framework, but the core approach — connection before correction — resonates across worldviews.
