I'm so sorry













Apologies cover a multitude of parent mistakes and parent dysregulation.


We all have ‘stuff’ that drives everything from behind the scenes. We all have bad days.


When we know we’re becoming dysregulated we can stop talking or at least say less. We can take some deep breaths, do a bit of mindfulness, bring our thinking brain more fully online. We’re unlikely to say or do anything useful in that dysregulated space.


If we happen to get caught unawares, we can apologise, reconnect, repair the damage, learn from the experience, and move on.


It's great role modelling for how we take responsibility for ourselves.
