We went through a phase where the kids didn't seem to care when they made a mistake, such as spilling the milk or hurting a sibling. Then, probably due to our reaction, they would look down in a guilty, eye-contact-avoiding freeze when they screwed up and we called them out. This lesson is to try and teach them to say sorry, be sorry, and then move on. Learning to be sorry is a steep learning curve... one step at a time!

They loved it, so we watched it again.
Then we had icecream.
