How To Get your Child to Show Remorse and Change Behavior
About this episode
Every parent wants their child to feel genuine remorse—not fake apologies or surface-level “I’m sorrys,” but true understanding and change.
In this episode, Sean Donohue, The Family Coach, breaks down how to guide your child from defensiveness to empathy, from guilt to growth.
You’ll learn why shame blocks real change, how to model emotional accountability, and what to say when your child hurts someone and just doesn’t seem to care.
Sean shares powerful scripts, emotional intelligence tools, and insights that help parents raise kids who take ownership, repair relationships, and grow into kind, responsible humans.
