This episode marks the launch of Good Insideβs new podcast, The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl β a show about raising tweens and teens.
To kick things off, Dr. Becky sits down with the showβs host, clinical psychologist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, to talk about the parenting shift that catches so many families off guard when kids enter the tween years.
One day your child wants you for everything. The next, theyβre shutting their bedroom door, wearing AirPods, and suddenly the strategies that used to workβ¦ donβt. In this conversation, Becky and Sheryl unpack whatβs actually happening during this stage β and why it can feel so destabilizing for parents.
They explore:
- why tweens start pulling away
- the parenting role shift that many parents struggle with
- the difference between pursuing your kid and becoming a steady anchor
- how to stay connected when your child seems more distant
- and why this stage isnβt a rupture in your relationship, but a transition
New episodes of The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl β will drop every Wednesday, exploring the emotional, social, and developmental realities of raising tweens and teens.
Because your kid doesnβt need you less.
They just need you differently.
