Sometimes these two words are the hardest thing to say. But they also have the power to mend

relationships like nothing else.

Two words: “I’m sorry.” They’re two of the most difficult words to say… especially when it

comes to fessin’ up to your teen. It’s humbling. Makes us feel out of control.

Some parents think that apologizing only lessens their credibility… or undercuts their authority.

But really… saying “I’m sorry” can still the ripples in your pond.

Your mistake created turmoil in your teen. And since we all make mistakes… maybe it’s time to

rebuild the relationship… and say those uncomfortable words: I’m sorry.
