Summary

In this episode, Tina and I discuss personal moments of our parenting missteps, explore instances where our reactions didn't align with my expertise and what we might have done differently. We discuss the benefits of imperfections, the power of repair, and the importance of modeling self-compassion for our children. Through our real-life anecdotes, we highlight the challenges and lessons learned from our experiences, and offer practical takeaways on setting boundaries, managing fear-based parenting, and the pivotal role of repair in maintaining strong, trusting relationships with our kids.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:09.7	Essentially, what we're doing in this episode is we're talking about moments when we responded or reacted in ways that we would not recommend as experts, but we did as mothers and we'll continue to do.
0:26.6	Yeah. Because for two reasons. One, we really believe in repair and we really believe in not being perfect. We live that, I think, quite beautifully.
0:36.7	Yes, we do. But sometimes it's nice to hear that in the presence of
0:43.4	having a lot of content knowledge you are still susceptible on a daily basis to just doing stupid
0:50.0	things yeah and it's also okay it's also okay but also okay. But because we're human. Because we're
0:55.8	human. It's really important. And our kids definitely know we're human. You know what? We
1:00.0	reinforce that. There's no question. That's what we are doing that as a, in fact, it's
1:04.5	intentional. Yes, that's right. You know what? We are modeling for them. Yes. That they don't
1:09.1	have to be perfect. And we're going to model repair for them. Yeah. Yeah. So we're also modeling it for you. Never looked straight of the camera.
1:17.8	We're modeling for you how to be self-compassionate because all of us, no matter what we know, are going to do this all the time.

1:53.0	that's really, really common for me where I'm so patient. I'm patient, I'm patient, I'm patient,
1:58.2	I'm patient, patient, patient, patient. Until I lose it. I flip my lid
2:01.9	and I act insane. And my kids never, ever give me credit for the part I was patient. And then that makes me even more crazy. It makes me want to be like, I want a damn parade for my patients. In fact, everyone in the backyard, we're making a float right now. I can go really crazy because I'm like, I was so patient. I need credit. I don't want to meddle for that. But the problem is
2:19.9	when we act like that which
2:21.8	and i'll share a story is that then it becomes all about our reaction and our overreaction as opposed to
2:29.1	what our what the whole thing was really about was about our kids behavior so now there's no
