Ep8- How to repair when you've lost it at your kids

Описание: Podcast/Youtube Description:

In this episode, psychologist Sarah Wills tackles what happens after you lose it with your kids and how genuine repair can actually strengthen your relationship more than perfect parenting ever could. Sarah explains why "sorry, but you made me yell" isn't an apology, the neuroscience behind fight-or-flight parenting moments, and her practical 4-step framework for repairing ruptures in a way that builds resilience rather than shame.




Whether you've raised your voice once or found yourself in a full-blown yelling match, this episode will show you how to take responsibility without losing your authority, teach your kids that conflict doesn't end relationships, and break generational cycles of conditional love.
