It is not hard to say sorry to your children, if you hurt them bad enough, its not what others think that only their children are supposed to say sorry to them, if you hurt your children, talk to them, tell them why you did it, if its your mistakes, accept it say sorry to them, they will surely love you and follow you as an example of a good parents. Love makes you a responsible parents.

Saying sorry to his/her child doesn't make anyone less than a parent. Of course, even they are just your offspring, like any other human being, they deserve respect and they deserve a good example. Parents just have to make it a point that they carry it out well explaining to themselves to their children and not to the point that they lose their child's respect.

Yes, I think it it hard to say sorry to children. In our mind, we should consider that we always right. If we did something wrong and say sorry to children, it seems humiliating.

omar0913, of course it is NOT hard to say I am sorry. I am human, and could be convicted of misjudgments...bad plans....wrong decisions. But NEVER will I not say I am sorry. I make every effort NOT to cause them any dissention, but I am first to ask forgiveness.. and say I'm sorry. Cheers.

Hello,omar!we should open our heart before the children.if they did some mistake really we should explain them how far their action is wrong and dissuade them for not repeating such mistakes which would hurt others.and don't feel to say always sorry to them so that they will learn.that will establish better understanding between the parents and the children.thank you.

I agree completely with you it is not hard to say sorry to our children. We should say sorry to them if we do something wrong as children will learn by our example.

I agree with you...If I'm in the wrong or have done something to hurt my kids feelings I tell them I'm sorry...Children learn from their parents...And I want my children to be loving parents..

I agree with your sentiments. It teaches the children how to apologise when they're in the wrong too. They'll not only apologise to you when they hurt you, but also to the friends and colleagues they encounter along their life path. Well done... Brightest Blessings.

If I accidentally hurt my children, or I judge them before hearing the full story and I am wrong, which with 4 kids happens quite a lot! Then I always always say that I am sorry, not just to teach them anything but because I am genuinly sorry. I hate seeing them upset because I have told them off for something they didnt do!! But it does teach them though because they always say sorry if they are wrong about something or if they hurt someone by accident, or on purpose.
