Failing Motherhood

145. Don't Insist on an Apology


Listen Later

Say you're sorry. "I'M SORRY! GAAHHH!!" they ROAR from the other room. 
Lessons were learned, right?

Often when parenting strong-willed kids, the messages we're trying to send, the skills we're trying to model and the lessons we're trying to teach get lost at sea in a battle of control and BIG emotions.

Instead of checking the box to make ourselves feel better, I'm breaking down why I don't insist my kids apologize and what we do instead.

IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARED...

  • Why especially strong-willed kids struggle so much with the vulnerability of apologizing
  • What choices you have in how you react that doesn't let them "get away with it"
  • The way my kids ask each other for forgiveness and forgive the other.

DON'T MISS:

  • What to say when they shut down the choices you offer
