The Gift of Repair

When we make mistakes, we always learn. This is one beautiful thing about being imperfect. The other is that we also always have the chance to make things right - the opportunity for repair.

Repair is when you go back to your child after a rupture and own what you did that wasn’t what you intended to, share your feelings about it, listen to theirs and apologize.

It’s in these interactions where your connection can really deepen.

So, don’t beat yourself up for making a mistake or not handling something the way you would have liked to. Instead, forgive yourself and move to repair the rupture in the relationship.
