Someone (an adult) wrote a note of apology to my 13-year old daughter for offending her.
I need some ideas for ways to teach my child to verbalize her acceptance response to this adult in an email. I have some ideas - but just want to bounce this off YA. Thanks - and earnest replies only - please! ( it wasn't a serious offense, but an offense nonetheless!) and a teachable moment!

Since your daughter is just 13, I would keep it short & simple. The person giving an apology indicates that they realize they've hurt your daughter's feelings. I suggest something like "Mrs. Jones, Thank you for the apology; I appreciate your recognizing how your comments affected me, and taking the time to apologize. I hope that we can put this behind us and still remain friends.". Then, talk to your daughter separately about the offense and how it made her feel, and how she can handle such incidents in the future.

I would accept it gracefully but everyone is different but u can't control how other people respond. Apologize for yourself so you can feel better. One time it took me months to apologize although we both were in the wrong..he never contacted me again but guess what...I'm Free from any guilt or regret

I think an acceptance over the phone is more appropriate and sincere, but email probably works just as well. Keep it SIMPLE. Thank you very much for apology, it was very heartfelt and sincere. I harbor no hard feelings and appreciate your effort to smooth things over between us. Let's consider this whole thing an item in the past and move forward from here.

She should be honest. If she feels better about the situation she could say, "Thank you for the apology." She could even take it one step further and add "It helps to know we've both learned something from this."
If she feels the adult is not sincere, than don't force her to acknowledge the apology, but suggest something that includes "learning from the experience."

I think it's great that this adult apologized and that you are teaching your child to accept it. I would have her say, simply, thank you for the apology and I graciously accept and forgive you.

Thank you....... the most basic and hopefully the truth.
If the child had done something to rile the adult (just guessing on circumstances here) then a small return apology is also in order. Perhaps something along the lines of..........
Thank you Mr/Mrs Name. I am sorry if what I did offended you as well.
Sometimes giving a little makes it easier to take.
Good luck.

Just have her write that their apology is accepted and remind them to be more sensitive in the future.
