[quote=Anonymous]We don't make them say sorry. We tell them that apologizing is the right thing to do but the reality is that sometimes your child's not-yet-developed brain doesn't have the empathy to feel remorse necessary to really mean an apology. This is especially true with siblings. My 4 year old isn't sorry she hit her brother. So instead try and have him say, "it was wrong for me to hit you", I should not have hit, or I know I should not hit. Etc. model apologies and tell them why we apologize.[/quote]
