What do you say to your child when the other parent won’t apologise?

In this episode, Rachel explores what it means to stand in the middle. Holding your child’s hurt while trying not to undermine your partner. She unpacks how to validate feelings without validating poor behaviour, how to avoid triangulation, and how to keep boundaries steady.

This is about supporting your child to regulate, reflect, and grow.
