Revisit - Wait, What? You Used to Love This.

One day, your two-year-old loves taking a bath. They love playing with bubbles and bringing in all of their different toys. And then all of sudden... they *hate* the bath. No amount of encouragement or cajoling will get them in the tub. What's going on here? On today's episode, Dr. Becky talks with parents of a toddler about navigating the (very common) bathtime resistance phase and how it relates to another part of toddlerhood.

Then she discovered Airbnb Guest Favorites. No more combing through options, reviews, and features. Guest Favorites are the most loved homes on Airbnb according to other guests. And that peace of mind when preparing for a trip is huge. Using Guest Favorites couldn’t be easier: Just go to Airbnb, add your destination, tap the filters, and hit the toggle for Guest Favorites. It’s that simple. Today’s episode is brought to you by Happy Egg: The other day, Dr. Becky realized that so many parents don’t eat their own breakfast. She, herself, often scrapes the bottom of her kid’s half-eaten yogurt container or snags two bites of their soggy cereal while running out the door. She's calling B.S. on this narrative. Parents deserve to eat and enjoy their own food in the mornings! Because she knows that fueling her mind and body helps her show up as a sturdier leader for her kids. If you’re looking for ways to up your breakfast game, try making a quick scramble with Happy Egg. These eggs come from small family farms with hens raised on 8+ acres of land.

Confidence comes from watching yourself work hard, tap into your creativity, and do things you may not always do. KiwiCo is like a conduit to confidence. Each month, kids get a box delivered right to them with a hands-on project designed to spark creativity and engage problem-solving… but kids don’t know this is what’s happening, they just see it as a form of play! The projects cater to all types of kids: kids who like science, sensory play, games, or geography. KiwiCo is a win for kid fun and a win for long-term confidence.
