Mum to Mum with Doctor Tash

Rupture and repair

Mums At The Table — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +1000

This is something every parent experiences but few openly discuss: Rupture. Those moments of temporary disconnection between us and our children. The sharp tone. The frustrated words. The reaction that came out before we could stop it.

Parenting was never meant to be perfect. It was never meant to be polished and uninterrupted and endlessly patient. It’s human. Which means there will be disconnection at times. Here's an important truth—rupture isn’t the thing that defines our relationship with our children. Repair is.

Behaviour is communication

Here's a rethink of the way we interpret our children’s behaviour: Instead of seeing outbursts, refusals or “attitude” as something to control, what if we viewed them as a clue, an emotional message waiting to be understood?

We dig deeper into her Mums At The Table article “What it really means when your child acts out" and explore how curiosity, co-regulation and connection can transform the way we parent.

Connection before correction

In this first episode of Mum to Mum with Doctor Tash, we talk about why connecting with your child matters more than simply correcting their behaviour. From tantrums to teen moods, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface and how small moments of empathy can change everything.
