In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four simple and practical tips on how to repair lost trust.

1. Acknowledge the Hurt Without Defensiveness
2. Follow Through on Small Commitments
3. Apologize Clearly and Sincerely
4. Ask What They Need to Rebuild Trust

Repairing lost trust is like mending a cherished piece of pottery with gold—a Japanese practice known as kintsugi. Rather than discarding the broken bowl, the cracks are filled with something precious, making the item even more beautiful and strong than before. In relationships, those moments of rupture and repair—when handled with care—can become golden seams that hold your connection together with deeper understanding and grace. Your willingness to repair shows your child that love is durable, even in the face of imperfection.
