   1. The bawas apologised to Ghanshyam for their behaviour.
   2. Lakshmibai apologised Bhaktimata for her ignorance.
2. We too can find ourselves in situations were we need to apologise and in the moment it can be something very difficult to do.
3. Use the flash cards below to practice how we can apologise to people in our lives.
4. You can ask a family member role play the scenarios with you or you can write down the ways you would apologise in the situations.
5. Sometimes it is not a verbal apology needed, you can do something nice, make a card or simply change your behaviour. Think about the most effective method and practice that.
