Sorry ladies I totally disagree, they will and should say sorry in my care. Kids know right from wrong at a very early age, my kids will sit when they deliberately hurt their friends on a time out. A minute per age doesn’t work either so I will gauge it depending on there age.

Taking privileges away I think is a more appropriate method. i.e. not allowing them to watch a quite time video or not allowing them to play with a specific toy…

We say sorry in my care and we hug, if it was an accident then I ask them to think about how they would feel if it happened to them and usually a big sorry will come next.

If they are on a time out for hurting deliberately you better believe they will be saying sorry.
