1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. It's the podcast for the

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: time poor parent who just wants answers now.

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Being able to recognize when you get it wrong, and

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: being able to sit with your kids in that space

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: and just let them know that you recognize you got

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: it wrong, because they know you've got it wrong and

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: they feel it, but to know that you actually acknowledge it,

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: I think is where the healing comes from.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: And now here's the stars of our show.

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: My mom and dad, Kylie. How much fun is it

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 3: sitting down and watching Parental Guidance with the kids.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: It's not very often we we're all in the same

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 2: room family with our big kids kind of doing their

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 2: own thing. And the other night we were sitting there

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: watching it and I just had one of those moments

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: where it was almost like I was kind of having

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: an out of body experience. I was looking down on

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: us from above and just completely enveloped in this feeling

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: of just love and absolute or of this beautiful family

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: that we have.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: Are you feeling a desperate need to sit down and

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: have so many conversations.

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: With the kids, so many conversations.

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: We've got to talk to them about people knocking on

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: the door We've got to talk to them about fire

26
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: Escape sort of stuff. We've got to talk to them

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: about explicit content online. We've got to talk to them

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: about playing games online. Like, there is so much to

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: talk about in terms of what this show is bringing.

30
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Up well, and just the little comments that they make.

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: Miss nine. She actually when they did the challenge with

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: the explicit content, she was literally sitting in her chair

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: and she said presno, presno, And then when they pressed

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: it too fast, she was like, I didn't get to

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: read what it said. She's really completely engaged in what's

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: happening on the screen. And the other day we were

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: driving the car and she says, I think that I

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: want to be a gentle parent.

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: And honest parents went with honest parent.

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: Honest Yeah, yeah, I want to be a mix of

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: those two.

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: I think it's so much funny.

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: It's out of the blue, like we won't even talking

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: about anything.

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, really, so.

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Just constantly thinking about what's happening and what's going on.

Speaker 3: Every Friday, Kylie and I talk about what's going well

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: and what's not in our family. We call it I'll

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: do Better Tomorrow. This is the bit where we get

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: real about what happens in the parenting experts family and

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: the times where we're getting it right, the times we're

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: getting it wrong, and what we can do to get

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: it right more often. I have had a really busy

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 3: six weeks with the launch of a book, with the

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: lunch of a TV show, with a week in Perth,

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: with a whole lot of events that I was speaking at,

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: and more than a week in the United States attending

63
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: a conference over there. It's just it's been enormous, and

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: if it's been enormous for me, it's been huge for you.

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: So for my older Better Tomorrow, I actually want to

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: share a couple of things that have happened. The first

67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: thing that I want to highlight is just how good

68
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: it felt to be home. So because I do so

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: much travel, we kind of get used to the coming

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: and going, the coming and the going. But when I

71
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: got home from an extended trip. I mean I was

72
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: in the US for like seven or eight days, and

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: then when I got home, you literally met me at

74
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: the airport, gave me a different suitcase. We did the

75
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: suitcase swap, and within an hour and a half, I

76
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: was on another airplane and flying to Sydney for a

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: conference and then down to Victoria for a couple of

78
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: talks down there. So even though I was back in

79
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: the country, I didn't see you guys for such a

80
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: long period. When I got home, it felt so good

81
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: to be in the kitchen with the kids, and being

82
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: in the living room with the kids, and over the

83
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: weekend just gone, well it was five days ago now,

84
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: but over the weekend just gone, just having the opportunity

85
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: to play music and dance in the kitchen, and I

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: did a whole lot of that, and it was so nice.

87
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: One of the nights, one of the kids had a nightmare,

88
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: and the next night she asked me to come and

89
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: sit with her. And this was the second thing that

90
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: I want to talk about. When I sat with her,

91
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: She's nineteen years old, and when I sat with her

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: and she wanted to she wanted to say a prayer

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: and just have some time together so that she didn't

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: have any more nightmares. I got to spend about five

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: minutes with her, and as I was about to wrap up,

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: she said, Dad, will you sing me my lalla By song?

97
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: And it's been so long since I've sung, especially to

98
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: my nineteen year old, to our nineteen year old, but

99
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: even to the other kids. As the kids have gotten older,

100
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: we've kind of gotten out of the routine. I travel

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: a lot. The kids are getting older. They don't need

102
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: to be tucked in the same way with the stories

103
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: and the songs and the present. That nighttime routine that

104
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: we had for years and years and years I reckon

105
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: probably a decade of it. It's kind of disappeared, and

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: I haven't noticed that it's disappeared. This is kind of

107
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: my big old do better tomorrow. Not only is it

108
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: great to spend time with the kids, but the value

109
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: of routine and how much we miss it when it's

110
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: not there. I sat next to Ella and I said, Okay,

111
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do it. My voice

112
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: is probably a bit scratchy, but I sang the lullaby song.

113
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: And most people won't have heard this one, but it's

114
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: a song that we just love and it's called Angel

115
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: Lullaby and I was able to find it on YouTube

116
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to sing it. I'm going to

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: actually let YouTube sing it because it's way better than

118
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: anything I could do.

119
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Till theness listen, god bye, soe till the god Bye.

120
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: So it's a song about these angels that sort of

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: stand guard over the kids as they're sleeping. And since

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: she had the nightmare, this was perfect stands.

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: By You're bad and another it's curse with there's one

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: watching for and one wait's too week you when the

125
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: night is gone, sicy s the time.

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, you get the picture right. I don't know about you.

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just because it's our angel lullaby song for

128
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: our kids. But hearing that song, it just takes me

129
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: to all the right places. It makes me feel really good,

130
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: and obviously it did that for our daughter. Whether you

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: have a song like that or a different song, I

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: guess the point is the tradition, the routine, the consistency

133
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: of hearing that over and over and over again. It's

134
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: so valuable for the kids. And I patted my big

135
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: girl nineteen years old off to sleep, gavery kiss on

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: the forehead and hugged her and squeezed her and told

137
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: her that I loved her and left the room and

138
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: I just felt so good. And so I walked into

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: the Rumpert room, where we've got two sets of bunks

140
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: and the other three kids are sleeping because our hasdre

141
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: too small for everyone to fit, so we've got two

142
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: sets of bunks in the ruppers room. And I sat

143
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: down on the on the step leading into the Ruppert

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: room and said, kids, do you want Do you want

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: a lullaby? And they said yeah, And so I sang

146
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: the kids that song again, and I just thought, Ah,

147
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: I missed this. We've got to do this stuff more.

148
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 3: It's so so important for the kids to feel secure

149
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: and loved and safe and like the world is predictable

150
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: and everything makes sense. And so that's my alder about

151
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: it tomorrow, the power of a good lullabye, the importance

152
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: of nighttime routine. I felt like I nailed it this week,

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: and I've been singing it as often as I can

154
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: every night i've been home this week. It's been so nice,

155
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: and so the kids have heard my scratchy voice trying

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: to get through that song every single night, because because

157
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: I remember the value of that routine.

158
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: I can't count and how many times I've sung that

159
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: song to the kids, rocking them to sleep.

160
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

161
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Well, you might have had a great win, which you're

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: so good, but after your extremely busy week, I feel

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: like my body kind of collapse in a bit of

164
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: a heap when you got home.

165
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: Because you've been doing it all, all of them yea,

166
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: And I just I.

167
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: Really felt like my body just kind of exhaled. I

168
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: want to say, I've been holding my breath that whole time,

169
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: knowing that I had to keep it together. And so

170
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: I had a couple of days in bed over the

171
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: last kind of week and just really kind of trying

172
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: to restore what once was. And so Sunday afternoon was

173
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: one of those days. I'd found myself in bed for

174
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: a few hours, and you had come home from church

175
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: and were desperate for a cupcake. Oh yes, yes, and

176
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: you had actually rung on the way home to say

177
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm coming home. Everyone else at church got a cupcake.

178
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: I didn't, and I just really need a cupcake? Do

179
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: you think you can help me out at icing?

180
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: On top of those cupcakes? I was desperate for it.

181
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: I really want well one of.

182
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: The kids hadn't been at church either, and their teacher

183
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: had done a little handout for them, which was actually

184
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: a packet mix, a cake packet mix, and so one

185
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: of the kids brought it in to the house and

186
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: I said, oh, so are we making these cupcakes as

187
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: opposed to me doing it from scratch? And you said,

188
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't really care. I just want the icing.

189
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: I just look cupcakes so that I can lick the

190
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: icing off the top.

191
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: That's all I care about.

192
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: And so I thought, well, if we've got the packet mix,

193
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: that's actually easy. The kids can do this all on

194
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: their own. But when the twelve year old walked in,

195
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: she said, well, I wanted you to help me, Mum.

196
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: I was hoping we could do it together. And in

197
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: my head, because I was feeling so depleted as it was,

198
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: the thought of having to kind of just navigate the

199
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: kitchen with an extra body meant more energy that I

200
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: didn't feel like I had.

201
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were kind of down on the whole idea,

202
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: especially if the kids being involved, and I was, and

203
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: I was like, honey, this is connection. This is an

204
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: opportunity to cook cupcakes with kids. This is great, and

205
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go and lay on my bed

206
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: and read a book because you've been laying down all day.

207
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: And so I kind of got really snappy, and I

208
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: just was like, I can't understand why a packet mix

209
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: that's got three steps in it they actually need my help,

210
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: Like it just seemed like superfluous energy and space that

211
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: I didn't have. And so our thirteen year old turned

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: around and said, Mum, it's okay. If you don't want

213
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: to do it with me, that's fine, I'll do it.

214
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 2: So anyway, I kind of I left the room, and meantime,

215
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: our nine year old had also received a spare box

216
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: of cupcakes, and she was like, but I want to

217
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: make some cupcakes too, And I just from a distance

218
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: heard our thirteen year old say, well, let me make

219
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: mine first and then I'll help you make yours. And

220
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: it wasn't until much later that night we were all

221
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: kind of heading off to bed, and I was sitting

222
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: in my bed thinking about the afternoon and just feeling

223
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: a bit frustrated with myself that I had missed an opportunity.

224
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: And I went into miss thirteen and I sat with

225
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: her and I just said, today I didn't act in

226
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: your best interest or in a way that I'm proud of.

227
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: I actually got it really really wrong. I've been feeling

228
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: really really depleted and I just didn't have the energy

229
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: to do what was being asked of me. But I

230
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: didn't handle it the way I wish I had of.

231
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: And I just want you to know how proud I

232
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: am of the way that you handled it, and not

233
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: only that that you then took your sister under your

234
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: wing and helped her and had such a nice afternoon

235
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: in the kitchen together. And you know, she looked at

236
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: me and she said, it's okay, Mom, we or you know,

237
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: we all have days like that, and she's just came

238
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: in a big hug and we sat there and we cuddled.

239
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: And so for me, I'll do better tomorrow. Is just

240
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: being able to recognize when you get it wrong out

241
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: of suit with your kids in that space and just

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: let them know that you recognize you've got it wrong,

243
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: because they know you've got it wrong and they feel it,

244
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: but to know that you actually acknowledge it, I think

245
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: is where the healing comes from. And that we were

246
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: able to sit in that space and just have that

247
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 2: cuddle at the end of the day and kind of

248
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: restore what had been savered was really nice.

249
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 3: I had no idea that you'd had that interaction. I

250
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: just knew that you weren't doing great. What I do

251
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: know is the cupcakes were fabulous, even if they were

252
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: out of a box, and I loved eating the icing sugar.

253
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: All week long, eating a cupcake a day. It's been

254
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: so nice. We really hope that there's some inspiration, some

255
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: ideas there for your family, whether it's getting the routine

256
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: happening at nights and having that special snubble time with

257
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: the kids, whether it's saying sorry and getting things right

258
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 3: when you've kind of stepped in it blown it a

259
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: little bit. That's the purpose. I'll do better tomorrow. This

260
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: podcast is designed to get us to be introspective and

261
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: consider how we can dial our parenting in that little

262
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: bit better. Thanks so much for sharing your time with us,

263
