Re: Apologizing When Child Misbehaved
Keep it two separate things. One- what child did was wrong and ALSO 2- I was wrong. I try to keep the "but" out of it or hold child responsible for *my* behavior. We also talk at other times how you really can push people to their limit and what kinds of things might do that. Then in the future, you can say I'm getting close to my limit and I'm going to cool off now.
