What if I told you the science is very clear- that our kids do not need perfect parents.  Not only that, but perfect parenting would be bad for them!

It might seem great in theory if we could always meet our kids needs.  It might sound great in theory if someone else could always meet our needs!  But when a relationship has a rupture- the next thing that can happen is the repair.

Repair is like drizzled honey.  Repair is like nestling into the most magically comfortable bed ever created.  Repair is where it's at.

In this episode, we get really clear about why you can rest into self-compassion after you've had a 'not my finest parenting moment' with your child.  (And for some tips on self-compassion, check out episode 8).  Self-compassion is necessary in order to take the first steps toward repair and there is so much power in repair!!
