Our goal will be:
To learn the process of making a genuine apology to repair relationships when they have had a Friendship Fire.
Students will explore how we can sometimes hurt a friend’s feelings, misunderstand them or make an unwise choice. It will be discussed that, if we find ourselves in this position, it is important that we take responsibility for our actions and choices by giving our friend a sincere apology. A true, honest, genuine apology can help to repair a relationship.
We will work through some scenarios to practise giving someone a sincere apology.
