We actually ask forgiveness for things we do that we knew we shouldn't do (such as, I'm sorry X for hitting you. That was not being kind. Will you forgive me?) and we just say "I'm sorry for _______" if it was an accident. We may even say that too. or say something like "I'm sorry, are you okay? That was an accident..."glad mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758288135083442152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628663398645171038.post-73848278233161523782010-01-10T17:50:33.649-05:002010-01-10T17:50:33.649-05:00ah, great idea!!!

I was not_____" So then you could fill in the blank with I was not being careful, or I was not being kind, I was not being gentle, etc. That way you can help them to see to apologize even if it is an accident, or from being too rough, rather than sorry only being a result of meanness.<br />I think it is also good for kids to accept responsibility for accidents. SInce usually they are a result of carelessness, or just not watching. But even if it wasn't done on purpose, they still need to be sorry.No I wasn't Sleepinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998985277820629382noreply@blogger.com
