やっちゃった！謝って本気で謝る - 強い人間関係を築くためのソーシャルスキル

Have you ever done something you wish you had not done? You are not alone!   

Everyone makes a mistake from time to time.  Sometimes we do things accidentally, and sometimes we even do things out of carelessness or anger, and then feel bad about it later.  

If your actions have upset or hurt someone else, you might want to apologize for what you did and try to make things right. You can’t change what happened, but you can try to make amends.  And you will probably feel better if you do. 

In this single-session class, through story telling, discussion and optional role play, you will learn all the parts of a sincere apology.  It's not hard if you know what to include!

We will also learn things that are *not* helpful when seeking forgiveness. Making excuses, engaging in "whataboutism," and demanding forgiveness actually make an apology weaker and less effective.   

At the end of the class, all students will have an opportunity to write or dictate an apology.  You may craft an apology to someone in your own life, about a real event, or write a message from one fictional character to another.  Some students even choose to write an apology that they wish someone else would give to them!
