If you want your kids to take responsibility for their actions, handle mistakes with grace, and apologize with sincerity, this episode is for you.

This episode absolutely rocks. So many people nowadays don’t know how, when and why to apologize – or not. And the quote: “Apologizing doesn’t mean you’re wrong and the other person is right – it just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.” – that is pure gold!
Hi Maciek! I love that quote, too. Thanks so much for your feedback 🙂
