Episode 236
We’ve all found ourselves in situations where our kids have said or done something hurtful — to us, to their siblings, or to a friend — and we’ve told them to say they’re sorry. But what do we do when they refuse to apologize?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Powerful reasons why children with big emotions shouldn’t be forced to apologize
- How to replace (ineffective) short-term assumptions with practical Long Game strategies
- How we can motivate our kids to WANT to apologize – without reminders from us
