ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We all get it wrong with our kids sometimes. This week, Laura explores what happens in the moments right after — the pull toward harsh self-accounting or quick avoidance, and a third way that leads somewhere better. Drawing on the wisdom of the book , The Context of Holiness by Fr. Marc Foley, OCD (see link below) which examines the life of St. Thérèse, and drawing on rupture/repair research, she shares a personal story about a sharp moment with her son. Why the mercy we extend to ourselves in that in-between space is what makes real repair with our children possible. Because before we can return to them, we first have to return to ourselves.

In this episode, Laura enters the world of the three-to-five-year-old and Erikson's stage of Initiative versus Guilt.

Before you say "you're okay" — pause. In this episode, Laura explores attunement: the art of making your child feel felt, not just seen.
