#81 - Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen Lewis - Saying You Are Sorry

Scarlett and her mom, Maureen Lewis, Jesse’s Nana, discuss a powerful tool Maureen used with her kids consistently when they were growing up. ‘Here’s what you could have said,’ or done differently when you are in a reactive mode, and feeling angry or sad. This provides an opportunity for a thoughtful response and a positive resolution rather than escalating a conflict. The Choose Love Movement teaches the importance of pausing and then thoughtfully responding instead of responding in anger. We all make mistakes, but it’s important to hold yourself accountable and have the courage to admit that you made a mistake and apologize.
