Apologizing to children is not easy but…

April 7, 2010 By Abel Cheng

Before I proceed, let me tell you this: I shouldn’t have written this article because it doesn’t look good on me. I could have chosen to hide this from you.

But I go ahead and complete it despite my initial hesitation, for one main reason: I want you to know we are not perfect. And everybody has one or more weaknesses (in parenting our children). Despite this fact, I also want you to know what is more important is we do our best to minimize our weaknesses, or better still get rid of them.

I am not shy to admit I have some weaknesses myself. This is one of them…
