Just read something about replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you". So, instead of saying "sorry I was late", say "thank you for waiting for me". Replacing negativity with positivity and gratitude and breaks the "i'm sorry" cycle. Powerful.
A few things learned from Scooby-Doo (which are relevant today):
1. We need meddling kids.
2. That crew could’ve used some caring, listening grownups.
(trusty dog & friends are great bonus)
3. It takes a lot of courage to unmask monsters and reveal them to be humans like us.
