A training kit on the value of apology
A child's ability to apologise is one of the kinds of human arts that not many possess. Indeed, it is a capacity that requires knowledge, culture, manners, taste, forbearance, and sound thinking. It is not easy for every person to admit their mistake and apologise for it to whoever was a victim of their mistake, for it is a great, momentous, and beautiful thing: great because it is a victory over the soul that incites to evil and commands its owner towards arrogance and refusal to admit fault; momentous because it is a defeat in the face of the temptations of this world, its alluring glitter, and its enticing bright colours; and beautiful because it is a rise to the rank of humility. Apology is a high value for the child, for with their unique logic and elevated language, they can apologise to their victim without giving up any of their dignity.

Apology
A simple word on the tongue but precious in its meaning, dear in its effect on the soul, it has an effective and powerful role in establishing a spirit of love and tolerance among people. So, dear mother, never neglect instilling the culture of apology in the souls of your children, and know that admitting a mistake is a virtue possessed only by the strong.
