Great point, it is inevitable that your kids will grow out of, and discover that their parents are indeed not all knowing and all seeing dieties. Normalizing apologising to them shows you are human and shows it is ok to make mistakes, as long as you take ownership of them.
I also like giving them the choice to apologize when it seems like it might be appropriate. Processing with them about why it's powerful, but letting them decide. They almost always do.
