Seniors: The Most Dangerous Word You Can Say to Your Children

There's one word I said to my children for decades that destroyed their respect for me.

Just one word. Two syllables. I said it hundreds, maybe thousands of times. And every single time I said it, I thought I was being a good parent. Humble. Reasonable. Easy to get along with.

But what I was actually doing was teaching them that I don't matter.

The word is "sorry."

Now before you click away thinking this is about never apologizing, hear me out. Because I'm not talking about genuine apologies when you've actually done something wrong. I'm talking about the reflexive, automatic "sorry" that seniors—especially senior parents—say constantly without even realizing it.
