SAY YOU’RE SORRY! ENCOURAGING GENUINE APOLOGIES IN KIDS
“We need to move away from thinking that performance is more important than the actual
process of going through and developing these feelings … We want them to be able to look at
their sibling or their peer that is upset that they have upset and kind of put themselves in that
child's shoes …”
This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we dive into helping your children understand the process behind giving a genuine apology. The key to this process might be difficult to grasp at first, because the key is to give the child time to process through their initial emotion. The one that caused them to act out, and let them come to feelings of empathy for the person they may have upset.
We’ll discuss the best way to give them time and space to process, but then check-in with them to help them facilitate an apology, different ways children may “apologize,” and when you may need to step in and provide an apology for your child.
