Send us a text We're introducing the Mom2Mentor podcast with a new format, focusing on planting seeds of character in our children through intentional parenting and mentorship. This episode explores teaching children the art of apologizing properly—beyond just saying "I'm sorry" to include acknowledging specific behaviors. • Transition from Single Moms United to Mom2Mentor reflects focus on mothers as mentors • Children model what they see, making our behavior fundamental to their development • "Planting a virtual garden" means cultivating character traits intentionally • Start teaching basic apologies around ages 3-5 with simple "I'm sorry" • By ages 7-8, teach children to add what they're sorry for after "I'm sorry," • Acknowledging specific behavior prevents repeating the same mistakes • Many adults struggle with apologies because they weren't properly taught as children • Break generational patterns by modeling proper apologies • Positive reinforcement helps cultivate this character trait • Even if you weren't taught something, seek resources to teach your children Put down your phone for one hour and talk with your children about what apologizing really means, and if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with another mom who's trying to be the best parent she can be. https://singlemomsunitedpodcast.com/ As Mom's we are more than nurturers we are Mentors to our children.
