[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did ask her and her response was “how was I supposed to know!” She told me she would write him a note an apologize. Admitting to a mistake is not something my mom really does. My dad was pretty upset with her too. He offered to help my son sort them out and start putting some back together. [/quote]

Ugh. Your mom needs some coaching. She needs to make the apology in person. Have her write the note but then make her say it in person. A 6 year old needs to hear this from his grandmother. A note will not cut it. And she needs to be the one to help him re-sort the pieces.

Your son wants his pieces sorted. 
He doesn't care less about the apology without that action.[/quote]

Didn’t say he wants to hear this or cares about an apology. I said he NEEDS to hear this. It’s a great teaching moment that this kid shouldn’t miss out on: how to take responsibility for messing up by apologizing in person AND helping to re-sort them. Both are equally important. [/quote]
