Breaking the cycle: the importance of apologizing to our children

Many of us grew up in homes where our parents did not apologize when they hurt us - emotionally, physically, or through neglect. As we navigate the healing process, breaking this pattern with our own children is imperative - and it’s our responsibility as the parent. It’s on us to acknowledge when we have caused harm to our children, apologize, and clearly state that our children are not to blame for our behavior or mistakes. It’s on us to attune with them in these moments and repair. Our parents couldn’t do this, we understand why, and now it is our responsibility to be different. Shame often gets in the way of us owning our mistakes, and I will discuss how self compassion can assist us in navigating this barrier to true connection with ourselves and our kiddos. We are breaking the cycle.
