Posted @withregram • @lookwithlove_bridgett "Parents can't force children to feel sorry, but we can make it safe for them to feel their sorrow. By maintaining a safe emotional space free of blame and shame we're laying the foundations necessary for the child to be able to feel their vulnerability so they can access feelings of true remorse for their actions. Keep in mind that young children are not yet developmentally capable of feeling badly for another at the very same time they are feeling badly for themselves. Demanding an apology might extract the words ‘sorry’ but if the feeling of remorse isn’t connected to it, it’s a hollow sorry."
