Prioritize Repair Over Perfection
- Get good at repair rather than chasing perfect parenting.
- Expect to mess up and focus on coming back together after disconnection.
Repair Rewrites Relationship Moments
- Repair changes the ending of a chapter in your relationship with your child.
- It adds connection, curiosity and reflection after a reactive moment.
Say Sorry, Then Own And Connect
- Repair requires more than saying "sorry" with a blame-filled but.
- Own your behavior, assure it's not the child's fault, name feelings and reassert connection.
