asking your child for forgiveness

I have been researching the web and reading a book on how to teach my child values with a sense of worth.  When I found a post on asking for forgiveness it reminded me of the many times I have gotten upset and impatient with G (and with Kepley).  I have two vivid memories dating back 3 years and only a few months ago where I should have re-entered the situation with an apology.  Simple Kids writer Megan tells us her journey and how it has created a stronger bond with her children.  Read her story at Simple Kids.

This is such a great topic for a post! I find myself needing to apologize for my lapses of patience all too often lately. The amazing thing is that Amelia will often apologize after her outbursts, when she's calmed down and realized she didn't handle her emotions very well. It's a heart-swelling moment when your toddler says, "I'm sorry Mommy" with no prompting!! :) Amazing what they absorb...
Really enjoying your blog :)
