#276: The Apology Superpower

f you could pick a superpower as a parent, what would it be? The ability to teleport your son to every sports practice instead of making the long drive? Researchers have found that every parent has a “superpower” of sorts that can improve their relationship with their son, help him avoid perfectionism, and promote emotional health. It’s  simply this: an apology. There’s no need to make your apology emotional or turn it into a long monologue. But when you know you’ve messed up as a parent, sincerely and concisely tell your son “I’m sorry”.  It will make him respect you more, and pave the way for him to learn the superpower of apologies in his own life.
