Should you make a child apoligize?

Good evening,gjax! Of course,everyone should apologize for what they did wrong no matter how old they are!A seven years child is old enough to responsible for his behaviors,people in this age have known the thing is right or wrong and also understood many things,their parents should teach them more seriously! Apologizing to others is not a difficult thing for everyone ,even a child,and sometimes we should tell them patiently that they did something wrong and responsible for it! Have a good day!^_^

Personally I feel by the time that a child is 7, they should know the difference between right and wrong, and be able to apologize to someone when they know they might have hurt them, etc. If you are not teaching a child that by that age, often you will end up having a wild unruly child who will get into a lot of trouble. So remembering to train them to remember to use respect and say "I'm Sorry!!" never hurt anyone at all.

I think you are absolutely correct with your thinking! If they don't realize that it's important to say I'm sorry, then they will think there's no consequences to their actions. They also would be learning that other peoples feelings don't matter. Not only is it teaching them good manners, it's teaching them the Golden Rule, compassion for others feelings, and what it means to interact correctly with people.

I think children know what´s right and wrong before they are seven years old. They will learn sooner if their parents teach them though. It is not just a matter of asking them to say they are sorry, but grown ups have to teach them with their example.

Hi gjax, don't you think 7 years old is too late for a child to teach to say sorry and the likes, becaused on my personal experiences, as early as less than a year onward I already taught them those magic words so along they way of their grow up it was inculcated now in their minds those words and that's successful upon my children learn talking they already say thank you, i' m sorry, excuse me although not as clear but they can say and carry as such until they grew up. Good night everyone!

It is not wrong to make a child apologize. if they are the ones who committed the mistake, they should know and learn how to say sorry. If not, when they grow up, they will have a hard time accepting their mistakes and they will have a hard time in saying sorry. This has already happened to one of the kids I know. She has a hard time saying sorry and I feel it is because she was treated like she was always right when she was a kid. happy mylotting :) This is just my opinion.

I certainly agree w/u. I wish all parents still taught their children manners like they use to do but seems like more don't than do.
