FROM MRS. MUNSON
A good dinner topic this week is: “If I did it, I admit it”. Taking responsibility for our actions and behavior is a life skill that is critical in the success of our relationships and careers. In addition, knowing how to make a formal apology is crucial in order to move forward from our mistake. Practice making a formal apology with your student with these steps:
1. Admit to myself (and others, if needed) that I’ve done something wrong
2. Look at the person I’ve hurt
3. Say his or her name and say “I’m sorry for…” (state what I did)
4. Tell the person or people that I hurt that I will not do it again – and mean it
5. Make restitution (How can I make it up to the person or people that I hurt? Make a plan and follow through)
Here are a few books to read together
