August 16, 2023 Sorry Not Sorry… But I Really Am
#SorryNotSorry! This week, Gwenna and Tori cover the nuances of apologizing for both kids and parents (and the parents of the parents). Gwenna starts off by laying out the structure to an apology which is: acknowledge what happened, apologize for what happened, and address how you will adjust your actions in the future. Throughout the episode they both give their own stories and advice on how they are teaching the importance of apologizing. Then, the duo plays a game of Sweet or Tangy brought to you by Ocean Spray where they reminisce on situations they have encountered as parents, and decide whether that moment was a sweet moment or was it a little tangy.
