Rupture, Repair, Repeat — The Real Parenting Cycle

View descriptionShare

Even parenting experts don’t always nail it. In this heartfelt “I’ll Do Better Tomorrow” episode, Justin and Kylie open up about those moments when good intentions go sideways — and what it really takes to repair connection with your kids. From tearful teenage meltdowns to awkward dinner-table confessions, this is an honest, hope-filled reminder that your love matters more than your mistakes.

KEY POINTS:

  • Why even the best parents get it wrong sometimes — and why that’s okay
  • How to apologise with authenticity (without making excuses)
  • The power of “creating a culture” of open, honest conversation
  • Why repair matters more than perfection
  • How strong family relationships let kids talk about anything
  • Teaching teens accountability and empathy through your own example
