Be able to admit that something you did may have been wrong and be willing to apologise.

TIP OF THE WEEK- By Lillian Reekie
TIP 19-
Be able to admit that something you did may have been wrong and be willing to apologise.

It is expected that if children make a mistake or doing something wrong or inappropriate that they apologise. The same should be expected of parents and carers of children. If you lose your cool, yell, try to control or treat your child in any way that you would not like to be treated just tell them you are “sorry” or ask for their forgiveness (or better still both). Children really appreciate that we too make mistakes and are very quick to forgive us, especially when we apologise for any parenting ‘meltdowns’.
