On this powerful episode, Child Therapist Deena Margolin and Parent Coach Kristin Gallant offer a profound healing moment to parents everywhere: if you messed up, if you yelled: it’s not too late, you didn’t f*ck this whole thing up, you aren’t a horrible monster: you’re HUMAN, just like the rest of us. This episode will be the warm hug of “I’ve been there, you’re not alone” that you’ve been waiting for, PLUS:

An exact framework of what makes a good repair moment
Common phrases to STOP saying when you apologize after messing up
Why repairing doesn’t come naturally to us (spoiler alert: it’s not YOU, it’s your childhood)
The powerful love chemical in the brain that gets released (for both parties) when you apologize
The most IMPORTANT part of repair most people miss: ways to take care of YOU after you’ve messed up and why it’s the crucial piece of the repair puzzle
Why easy going kids do not equal better kids
