Ep. 45 - Good Enough Parents: Why Repair Matters More Than Perfection

Perfectionism in parenting can unintentionally create anxiety—for both parents and children. In this episode, Allison breaks down the concept of the “good enough parent” and why mistakes, followed by repair, are essential for healthy emotional development. You’ll learn how rupture and repair strengthen emotional resilience, how children learn conflict resolution through parental modeling, and why shielding kids from all discomfort can actually limit their growth. This conversation offers grounded parenting advice for navigating challenges with more compassion, clarity, and emotional capacity.Resources:—Want to discover your capacity level in relationship??
