Why do we say sorry?
We say sorry to show we care when we've hurt someone's feelings.
Pip’s answer
- We say sorry to show we care when we've hurt someone's feelings.
- Saying sorry helps the other person know you didn't want them sad.
- Then you can fix things together and feel happy again.
- Ooh, one tiny word can turn a cloudy day sunny!
For grown-ups
Apologizing shows we understand how our actions affected someone else. A sincere apology helps repair relationships and builds trust. For young children, adding what they'll do to make it better ('Can I help you rebuild your tower?') makes sorry more meaningful.
Ask your child: What can we do to make things better after we say sorry?
