[quote=Anonymous]My mother can't say I'm sorry and she's 70, so I wouldn't expect too much of a 4 year old. If my 4 year old does something bad to another kid not my own, I insist on a verbal apology. Sometimes I need to wait a few minutes for him to calm down before he's ready to give it. In the meantime, focus on comforting the other kid and ignoring yours (which is the best practice anyway when someone is being a dick). Usually if I give it enough time, I can get the apology out. If he's a dick to me or his little brother, I'll usually settle for a hug or any other nice gesture showing empathy, because its easier to get it out of him. And honestly, most adults have trouble explicitly saying sorry to family, so it just seems like I'd be banging my head against the wall for no reason.[/quote]
