*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Is it hard or easy for you to apologize? Why? Why do you think kids sometimes struggle to apologize?
- Think of a time when you apologized to someone. How did you feel? How did that person respond?
- Think of a time when you wanted someone to apologize to you. What happened? Did they apologize? How did you feel?
- Why does Dr. Friendtastic suggest, “The person who is least wrong should apologize first”?
- Sometimes people say, “An apology isn’t good enough!” What do you think they might be looking for beyond the words “I’m sorry”?
