I'm Sorry I Hurt You

How do you get the courage to say sorry?

Jordan is having a rough morning. He's tired, grumpy, and Maya's singing is making it all worse. In a moment of frustration, he reacts in a way he immediately regrets: he pushes her.

Suddenly, the room is full of big, messy feelings. Jordan knows he messed up, but his heart is racing and his brain is full of excuses. He's stuck in "Fear Mode," where admitting a mistake feels like being a "bad kid." Everything shifts when Mom shows him how to move into "Love Mode"-shifting his focus from his own shame to his sister's feelings.

I'm Sorry I Hurt You is a compassionate and clear-eyed look at what it takes to own a mistake and rebuild trust. It provides a practical roadmap for children to navigate the heavy feelings of guilt and discover the magic of a true, "but-free" apology.

The 7 Magic Phrases SeriesSome words are more than language-they are tools.

The 7 Magic Phrases series follows siblings Maya (7) and Jordan (5) through the messy, beautiful work of growing up together. Through their eyes, children learn that feelings aren't problems to be solved-they are invitations to connect.

Each book equips children with a specific, actionable phrase they can use the moment they close the cover:

  • Book 1: What Do You Need? Offering empowering care.
  • Book 2: I'm Sorry I Hurt You Using heartfelt apology for true repair.
  • Book 3: Thank You for the Love Glasses Shifting perspective through gratitude.
  • Book 4: Do You Want a Hand or an Ear? Giving the care they want.
  • Book 5: I Can't Do That, But I Can Do This Finding agency within boundaries.
  • Book 6: I Need a Re-Do The grace of a second chance.
  • Book 7: I Hear You, and I'm Right Here Prioritizing presence over proving facts.

Finkton, Darryl W., Jr.: - Darryl Finkton Jr. grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where attending more than fifteen different schools taught him a lifelong lesson: big feelings require even better tools. A neurobiologist by training (Harvard University) and a Rhodes Scholar in Public Health (Oxford University), Darryl spent years studying the science of how we connect. Today, he translates that high-level research into heart-level practice. Whether he's working with children on social-emotional skills or exploring the intersections of food and ecology, Darryl's mission is to replace fear with love. The 7 Magic Phrases series is the culmination of his life's work-a guide to mastering the delicate art of saying hard things with care.
