When you make mistakes...

Okay - so how do you handle it when you make a mistake with your children? Do you admit it and apologize? Do you beat yourself up about it?? I'm curious. I know most of us beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. But we are human. I think it is also a wonderful opportunity for our children to see that it is okay to make mistakes. If we berate ourselves for our mistakes, that is how they will learn to treat themselves. If we show them that to err is human and to forgive divine - then they will see the divine nature of each and every one of us. They will also see that we are human and that is wonderful, too. Each mistake is a wonderful opportunity to see another way of doing things...
