Hi, this is Janet Landsbury and welcome to UnRuffled.

In this episode, I'm going to be responding to a question about teaching a child to say

sorry.

Before I begin, I want to give a special shout out to Millie.

Millie is a two and a half year old in one of my parent toddler classes.

And I just discovered last week that Millie listens to my podcast.

Her mother told me that she requests that they be turned on in the car and she likes listening

to them.

So I'm very flattered.

I couldn't be more flattered actually.

So Millie, I just want to say thank you so much and I enjoy you in class so much we have

such a good time.

We have this little joke where we rush through wiping her hands before snack time, but I

really get a kick out of her.

Millie thanks again for all the encouragement and support.

Okay, here's a note that I received on Facebook.

Hello, my son is four and four months and refuses to apologize ever.

I've always followed your page and by and large try to follow your direction, but it's

becoming a bit of a problem.

He's getting in trouble for not saying sorry at daycare and he just won't ever say sorry

for anything.

I feel like he is big enough to feel genuinely sorry about stuff.
