[quote=Anonymous]Our 4 year old is generally a very good kid who follows directions and listens. But especially when he is tired, he can act out - for example, by throwing a ball in the living room after being asked not to. When we address the behavior and ask him to apologize, he totally refuses. He will acknowledge having done something wrong but will say that he "doesn't know how to say sorry." Same when he accidentally hurts someone by playing too aggressively -- he refuses to say he's sorry. It's the strangest thing. This is even true when we pull him aside and tell him he has to apologize in order to continue playing. We will tell him that all he has to do is say sorry and he can go play, but he still refuses. Anyone else have a kid who refuses to say sorry? How did you get him or her past the refusal?[/quote]
