Your question is massively generalized. A little bit in every bucket, but obviously I think I'm aiming for better.

One of my newish mantras is: "Apologizing is what we expect of 9-year-olds. Older children are expected to make compensations or repairs. Adults are expected to modify their own behavior in the future."

I like that.
