    How to Repair With Your Child When You Are the One Who Messed Up

    How to Repair With Your Child When You Are the One Who Messed Up

    In this episode, we dive deep into a very personal, yet universal, parenting experience. Our host shares her journey of miscommunication and repair with her son, revealing the raw and tender dynamics of the parent-child relationship.
    We discuss how easily we can misread situations, and how a moment of jest can turn into a moment of distress. But more importantly, we explore the aftermath: the process of owning our mistakes, acknowledging the impact, and working towards mending the rupture.
    We delve into the steps of making repairs, from granting space for our children to express their feelings to understanding their needs for reparation. We also highlight the importance of public acknowledgment of our mistakes, a key component of the social fabric of our lives.
    Finally, we address the importance of not beating ourselves up when we falter and the need for patience as repairs may take time. This episode is a true testament to the fact that it's not about never messing up, but about how we rise and recover when we do.
    So, join us on this enlightening journey, as we learn, grow, and together, continue to become better parents, one repair at a time.

Guidelines and support

I’ve been following this podcast on Instagram for a while, and I’ve always found all of her insides worthy of attention and implementation. Love that there is also a podcast that actually goes into more detail so that you can really process and prepare for real life parenting.

Please make more podcasts!

This is a must listen to for any parent or parent to be, that want to break the cycle and find real connection with their children. Parenting is hard—we need to understand age appropriate behavior, neuro type and have situational awareness to be able to respond the best way we can when facing an “emotional dumpster fire.” (Quote from Eli)

Please gift us with more episodes and helpful wisdom to help us navigate one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs we could ever have on this earth.
