You’re Not a Bad Parent – Repair & Reparenting Integration
Details
Do you ever think, “I know what I want to do differently as a parent… but in the heat of the moment I still slip into old patterns”?
Maybe you recognise yourself in these:
- You calm down after a hard interaction and think, “That sounded just like my mum/dad/caregiver – and I never wanted to be like that.”
- You swing between being very firm and then over‑correcting into permissiveness because you’re terrified of being “too harsh.”
- You’ve been learning about co‑regulation, boundaries, and shame‑free discipline, but under stress you still freeze, snap, or shut down.
This 60‑minute online webinar is about bringing together repair with your child and reparenting yourself, so change doesn’t just live in your head – it starts to show up in how your home feels over time.
Many thoughtful parents quietly wonder:
- “If I know better, why don’t I do better?”
- “Why does my child’s behaviour trigger such a big reaction in me?”
- “How do I stop my past from leaking into how I show up with my kids now?”
The truth is, you’re not failing at willpower. You’re bumping into old wiring – protective patterns your nervous system learned long before you became a parent.
In this session, we’ll look at how to:
- Repair with your child after hard moments,
- While also gently re‑parenting the parts of you that never got the repair, safety, or understanding you needed.
You don’t need a perfect childhood to be a good parent. You need a way to make sense of your story, so it doesn’t quietly run the show.
What We’ll Cover
In clear, parent‑friendly language, we’ll explore:
How repair and reparenting fit together
Why it isn’t enough to know the “right” scripts with your child if your own shame and survival patterns are still in charge – and how integrating the two creates real change over time.
A simple repair framework for hard moments
A step‑by‑step way to come back to your child after you’ve used a sharper tone than you’d like, shut down, or handled things in a way that doesn’t match your values – without making it all about how “terrible” you are as a parent.
Making sense of your story (the reparenting piece)
How your upbringing, culture, and past experiences shape your reactions now – and why understanding this is protective for your child rather than “self‑indulgent navel‑gazing.”
Designing a gentle 4–8 week Repair & Reparent plan
We’ll map one recurring pattern in your home (mornings, bedtimes, tech battles, shutdowns) and choose a few small, realistic shifts so you’re not just “trying harder,” you’re doing something different.
You’ll leave with:
- A clearer picture of why certain behaviours are so triggering for you.
- Words you can actually say to your child after a rupture.
- A starting plan for practising repair and self‑compassion over the next few weeks.

About Your Host
I’m Angelique, a transformational coach and mum who has parented through crisis and come out the other side. I know what it’s like to hear a harsh, familiar tone come out of your own mouth – and to feel sick about it afterwards. I also know what it’s like to over‑correct in the other direction and struggle to hold boundaries because you’re so afraid of damaging your child.
That season pushed me to learn about repair and reparenting – how our own nervous system and childhood story shape the way we show up with our kids. It changed everything.
Now I work with parents of strong‑willed, sensitive, and struggling kids and teens, helping them build more anchored, shame‑free relationships: clearer boundaries, more repair, and a kinder inner voice, without pretending the past or the nervous system don’t exist.

If you know another parent who’s doing the work – reading, listening, trying so hard – but still feels hijacked by old patterns in the heat of the moment, you’re warmly invited to share this event with them.
Sometimes the biggest shift comes from realising:
You’re not a bad parent. You’re a parent with a story, and there is a way to repair with your child while re‑parenting yourself at the same time.
See you there.
