from The Parent Pod · host Rachel Russell from Quite Frankly Coaching

Why is “sorry” so hard for some adults?And what does it mean for kids when repair never comes?In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening when a parent doesn’t apologise, and why the absence of “sorry” can be so much heavier on children than we realise.We explore:why kids notice when repair doesn’t happenhow children often internalise blame when apologies are missingwhat actually helps a child feel safe and validatedYou will feel empowered to trust your instincts, use the right words in hard moments, and support your child’s emotional safety.If this resonated, Raising RAD Kids goes deeper into repair, regulation, and raising kids who feel safe in themselves.https://books.by/rachel-russell
