I have 3 great kids.
But today my youngest (almost 5) made a big mistake in his kindergarten class.
He was unkind & said some mean things.
Then repeated them after being sternly warned.
After school he went to timeout.
Then, I went to talk to him.
I got down on his level & right away crocodile tears streamed down his eyes.
We talked about OWNING OUR MISTAKES & never blaming anyone but ourselves.
Take responsibility, learn from it, & don't repeat it.
We decided he & I would drive to the house of the person he said unkind things too & he would apologize in person.
He walked up to them, tears in eyes & said I'm so sorry & I'll never say those things again & then they hugged really big.
On the drive home I assured him daddy makes mistakes too & there's nothing he can do that would make me, my wife, & Jesus not love him.
I was very proud of him for TAKING OWNERSHIP of this mistake & making it right.
Parenting is hard.
It's the most important job we'll ever have though.
I impress on my kids there's never a reason to be UNKIND or make others feel bad.
I hope all parents take this role seriously too.
Especially FATHERS with sons.
