Parents: repairing the damage we do w our kids isn’t as difficult as we make it out to be.

When you screw up, take the time you need to find Self. Your true Self is calm, connected, curious, compassionate.

Once you find Self, approach your kids w this energy & apologize.
Depending on their ages you can elaborate from there. But even very young kids deserve to hear specifically what you did was wrong & that you see how you hurt them. Humbling out to your kids will fill them with compassion and build trust that you will always try to make it right.
Even something as simple as, “Mommy was scared that u accidentally hurt ur sister. But look, she’s ok. I know u love her. I’m sorry I yelled at u. I can see it scared u & I’m so sorry.”

Treat your babies w the dignity they deserve. This will equip them to do the same for others.
