Ok i don't have kids i just have my childhood to refer to. I remember as a child when i did something my mom would mae me say i was sorry. Sometimes i would be sorry other times i really wasn't. An example once when i was about 8 i told my cousins who were 14 at the time to shut the f**k up. I said it because they were being mean and picking on me. They ran and told my mom i got spanked and was told to apologize. I told her i wasn't sorry i said it because they were mean. She told me to apologize or she would spank me again.So i apologized even though i did not mean it just bc i was afraid of being spanked again. My question should you make a child apologize when they are not sorry? Isn't this sort of teaching them to lie? Cant a person tell when a child isn't truly sorry? Wont they learn on their own if you do something wrong(ie say something mean I'm not talking about hitting I'm talking more words) that the person you say it to wont play with you anymore? Like i said i don't know i don't have kids ive just always wondered.
