An “I’m sorry” object lesson is a way to teach someone the importance of apologizing and how to do it in a meaningful way. It can be used with people of all ages, but it is especially effective with children.
There are many different ways to do an “I’m sorry” object lesson. One popular method is to use a broken object. When the object is broken, the person who broke it can apologize to the person who owned it. This teaches the person who broke the object that they need to take responsibility for their actions and that they need to apologize when they do something wrong.
