Mistakes don’t define us—how we repair does. 💕 Yelling happens. We may say things to our kid or do things we don’t mean. Part of being a more conscious parenting is recognizing these moments and taking accountability for it. Repairing with our kids teaches them two powerful life lessons: ✨ Emotional regulation—We show them that even when we feel out of control, we can regulate and make things right. ✨Accountability—We model taking responsibility for our actions, a skill they’ll carry into their own relationships. Another part of repair is to realize if yelling or behaviors that are not conducive to effective communication are becoming the rule and not the exception; because part of repair and accountability is actually trying to change your behavior in the long run too. The goal isn’t to have the “perfect” words when repairing; you don’t need to memorize my response in these examples. Instead, it’s about creating a consistent pattern of ownership, connection, and love. Kids don’t need perfection—they need to see that mistakes are normal and can be used as opportunities to grow. Give yourself grace, and remember: the more you practice regulating your emotions, the easier it gets—even on those days when you’re fueled by crumbs, caffeine, and sheer willpower, and your child chooses THAT moment to spill your coffee or sneeze directly into your face. 😅 Share this if you found it helpful.
