It drives me...As always, a thought provoking post. It drives me crazy when I see a teacher demanding a child say sorry without further discussion (except a threat that the child can't play until they have said "I'm sorry.") I usually don't insist on an apology but suggest it will help the other child feel better. If the problem was caused by an accident, kids will easily say "I'm sorry it was an accident" with very little prompting and it does help the other feel better. For deliberate or thoughtless behavior (such as knocking down another child's blocks) I usually start with asking the offender why he/she thinks the other child is upset. I then ask how they might make the child feel better. If the child says he will say "I'm sorry." I remind them that that means "I wish I hadn't done it and I'll try not to do it again." If the child doesn't mean that I suggest they need to go to another area. Certainly not perfect because I do think that teaching compassion and responsibility are critically important. I just don't want to teach my little ones that the words "I'm sorry" are a pass for inappropriate behavior or that they have no meaning. <br />Lyn<br /><a href="http://mrsgoffskinders.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Goff's Pre-K Tales</a><br />Lyn Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670862168416287427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-63491101103277905322013-02-18T13:43:55.965-08:002013-02-18T13:43:55.965-08:00You're very welcome!
