When kids have done something sorry-worthy and they just won’t apologise, we can get stuck trying to explain to them just the reasons they should.
Often there just aren’t words that will do the trick to help them get to saying sorry.

Here’s how to help them through it so we can focus on relationship repair and more effective problem solving in the future.
