I’m Sorry!

How many times in your life have you said “I’m sorry” to another person?  It’s natural that when the children in our lives do something that hurts, upset, or bothers another person, we encourage them to say “I’m sorry,” as well.  But what does “I’m sorry” really mean and does it teach children anything?  In my recent article for Big City Moms, I tackle these questions and present a more developmentally appropriate, and effective, way of teaching young children empathy.
