When we return to a moment that felt bad and add connection and emotional safety, we actually change the memory in the body. - Dr. Becky Kennedy

I know too many parents who feel like they are failing their kids.
They feel like:
* They yell too much
* They lose their temper too much
* They are sarcastic when they could have been kind
* They correct when they could have connected
* They pickup their phone instead of engaging with their kids
It feels awful to tell yourself that you’re failing as a parent. No one wants to feel like a failure and yet, we often do feel this way as parents.
