Consent Starts at Home

Consent. It’s a word that feels loaded, emotionally charged, and deeply important. In this episode, Dr. Becky lays the groundwork for what it means to model consent in everyday parenting – helping kids build self-trust, practice setting boundaries, and know their voice matters. She offers practical language, powerful reframes, and grounded guidance for walking the line between honoring a child’s autonomy and staying steady in your role as the parent. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Becky unpacks the emotional weight consent can carry- and shows how even the smallest moments can help our kids feel safe, seen, and respected.
