Repairing emotional wounds in children involves acknowledging parental mistakes and reframing the child's narrative about stressful events. It's essential to replace negative self-blame with feelings of love, safety, and understanding. Apologies from parents show children the process of accountability and highlight that everyone has triggers and imperfections. Children learn that while parents may err, they consistently return to reaffirm love and connection. This cycle emphasizes that self-repair is crucial; before offering compassion to others, parents must first cultivate those qualities within themselves.
