"Sorry" Is More Than a Word—It's a Commitment 🌟

Talking with my 6-year-old son recently opened my eyes to something interesting. Like most kids, he says "sorry" quickly but often repeats the same behavior. At first, I thought it was just a kid thing—learning as they go. But then I realized he was treating "sorry" like a magic word, a quick fix with no real meaning behind it. So, we had a heart-to-heart. I explained that saying sorry isn’t just about admitting you were wrong; it’s a promise to try and do better. It’s not about being perfect, but about making an effort to change. This shift was powerful—for both of us. Now, when he says sorry, I ask him, “What are you promising me with that sorry?” It’s a conversation starter about trying again and making things right. Honestly, this hit me too. As adults, we often apologize without real commitment. A true apology is a promise to grow and improve. How do you talk about apologies with your kids—or even yourself?
