In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore one of the most surprising takeaways from the recent Childhood Trauma Conference in Melbourne: parents who “get it wrong” 50% of the time—but repair and respond—raise kids with more secure attachment than parents who almost always get it “right.”Ash and Dave unpack what this means for parenting, leadership, and relationships, showing why attunement matters more than perfection.In this episode:Fascinating new research on parent-child interactions and attachmentWhy constant hypervigilance and prediction can be harmfulThe difference between reacting, ignoring, and responding with attunementWhy conflict isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a sign of safetyParenting examples: from donuts for breakfast to teenage pushbackHow to circle back, repair, and build trust (even years later)This conversation takes the pressure off perfection and reminds us that mistakes aren’t the problem—how we repair and reconnect is what counts.Reflection prompts:Do you put pressure on yourself to always “get it right”?How do you usually respond when your child (or partner) is upset?What might it look like to value repair over prediction in your relationships?🌿 Re-MIND Institute Linktree🌿 David’s Linktree (Accidental Ascension)🌐 Website📱 Instagram: @‌remind.institute📘 Facebook: Re-MIND InstituteDisclaimer:The Re-Mind Podcast shares general information about mental health, well-being, healing, and spiritual growth.
