In this Dear Cardigan Academy episode, we're answering a listener's letter about how to apologize by discussing many aspects of what makes a good apology and what doesn't (like self-deprecation).
We cover the five languages of apologizing, why we don't force our kids to apologize (as discussed in our parenting cloup), when and how to discuss this with others, and the effectiveness of an I'm Sorry balloon. We touch on forgiveness but that will likely be a future podcast episode in and of itself.
