In reply to Brianna. Yes indeed! My confession is I'm still working on it myself. One problem comes when it's not so clear who's at fault, and if both parties or neither should say sorry!

Learning how to apologize is such an important life lesson.

In reply to Elyse. The interesting mental leap is going from the tangible (broken sculpture) to the emotional (hurt feelings). Just had a conversation with my son about this today and will keep trying with the teaching!

A good thing to learn young (that not everyone learned)!

In reply to Michelle Frank | Flipped-Out Food. Much appreciated! The most important part for me -- which I created because of a certain real-life situation with my son -- is the chart showing the time it takes to apologize and fix versus tantrum and deny. He's starting to catch on now that we've read this a few times!
