When we force our children to apologize, they do it because they want to move on from the situation or avoid punishment—not because they genuinely mean it. The good news? There are other, healthier ways to teach conflict resolution skills to kids. For little ones under 6, try sportscasting, which involves narrating the conflict to help children understand what’s going on. For instance, you might say: “Adam is playing with the car and Ava wants it, too.” Notice how we don’t mention the child’s fe

Here’s my other hot take when it comes to getting our kids to apologize… I NEVER tell them to. Wondering why? What’s the point of ME making them apologize? It wouldn’t be sincere. You can tell your child to say “sorry” a hundred times— but if it’s forced and they don’t mean it? It won’t stick. Instead, I model it. When I mess up, I apologize—clearly, wholeheartedly, and without excuses. And let’s be honest—parents get a lot of chances to practice. We’re in high-stakes situations all day long: mu

How to get a toddler to apologize? With a toddler, I consider them too young to really teach how to apologize. As your kids get older though, I believe it’s important to teach them how to apologize effectively. I believe there's four steps to a good apology. 1️⃣ Say you’re sorry. It starts the ball rolling, people want to hear it. 2️⃣ Take accountability by saying “it was all my fault, it wasn’t your fault.” 3️⃣ Ask the person what you can do to make it up to them. 4️⃣ Don’t do it again.

However, when the parent uses empathy, they may realize that forcing a child to apologize may also mean forcing a child to admit that they are somehow damaged and unworthy of love. W
