Try to learn Apologize for your children.

"Man is a storehouse of error," reads a proverb wisely. However, it does not mean to apologize for the error becomes easier, including for children of school age. So that children want to apologize, the following six steps that can be applied on the child's parents.

1. Give children the opportunity to express the problem.
Dig a child from what made him not want to / refuse to apologize. Parents and teachers should be neutral, not siding with the perpetrator or victim. If they siding, feared the recovery of both relationships will be increasingly difficult.

2. Does not force the child to apologize.
Often encountered parents who force their children to apologize, "Come on, you just apologize now brother!" Actually, this way is not true and can suppress the child. Increasingly forced to apologize, the more difficult for children to do so. Because coercion is something that is not fun then it will not be repeated again. Or, if they wish, the child will be forced to apologize, not sincere.

3. Grow empathy in children.
The best way to foster empathy. "You've hit brother like that. Just think, you think if you needed it, how does it feel?" Maybe kids will not directly answer or comment on the spot by saying, "No good", for example. But at least the kids know, actions have made others suffer, bothered, or hurt.

You should be able to understand, that's not good deeds. He also had to feel what others feel. Children should see the impact he did on other children, how these people's feelings, and so forth.

4. Give encouragement
Examples, "mother would be happy if you listen to complaints of others and you want to change your attitude. I wish you could also apologized for the deeds you've done to your friend." Such expectations do not give the impression force and overbearing, but teach children to be open and make him think. Especially at this age children already can be invited to think about the consequences.

5. Recommend a variety of ways to apologize
There are many ways to apologize, either directly or indirectly. There are over shake hands, hug, touch and other ways, or the latest by message, e-mail, chat, comment on the sorry social networking such as Facebook, Friendster, and others.

Children know which plaing right and fitting. Usually by freed their opinions, children will find plenty of ideas. Unless the children did not know how, then parents have the opportunity to provide input.

6. Give tolerance time
Avoid telling the child to apologize on the spot. Parents do have to wait until the kids want to do it with sincerity without resorting. Furthermore, if the child is ready, parents can be a mediator, helps the child to apologize and reconcile the two warring children.
