Sorry I Exist vs. Sorry I Hurt You (ep. 10)

Sorry for asking. Sorry, you can't have that. Sorry, I have to work. Sorry, it’s only me. If “sorry” is half of every sentence you say to your kids, this one’s for you. When you over-apologise, your child thinks you’re doing something wrong when you aren’t. Then, when you really do need to repair, the word has lost its weight. This week: the difference between “sorry I exist” and “sorry I hurt you,” why you never have to apologise for a limit, and the five steps to an apology that actually lands. Your kids don’t need you to say sorry more. They need you to mean it when you do.
