Saying sorry to kids

If the extent of my anger was more than appropriate, or if I got upset because I misunderstood what my kid did, I definitely apologise. That day, I witnessed my husband apologising to my daughter too, for being impatient with her. That was a very powerful moment to watch, because it was followed by, “May I give you a hug? Will you forgive me?” And my daughter said yes. I’ve realised that we’re not perfect as parents, and showing our children that we make mistakes too, and owning up to them, as well as apologising, is the best way to teach our children manners and the right way to treat others.
