That should be the norm..but in Africa..some parents think they are flawless,and even if they think they are subjectively right,while objectively wrong they put forth arrogance and keep mute about apology..this is one out of copious factors that makes kids of nowadays have little respect for the aged. It doesn't cost anything to apologies to ur kids,esp kids of nowadays wey smart pass tortoise . 1 Like 1 Share |

Yes they should apologize. |

OMG ![]() Are you seriously asking if it's right? C'mon children have emotions too. They are human beings. Worse still as a child, all they know is that you hurt them. And they will remember. It's not nice to be remembered as a mean bítch of a mother or father. So, yes, do apologize unequivocally. 1 Like |

Why not? Freaking hell yeah!! I'm sorry has no age limits.. Asides that, its part of inculcating manners into your child, so that they know how and when to use the I'm sorry word.. |

yemicoal: That's very annoying , , they feel they're always right and when it's glaring that they're wrong they start changing mouth and shifting blames, you'll never hear i'm sorry . |

yemicoal: Of course. It's a no-brainer. Apologizing when wrong shows you take responsibility for your actions when you've made a mistake. There is no shame in apologizing and there shouldn't be any pride attached to it. Afterall no one is perfect. But most importantly, children learn by example, and from adults. So if their parents acknowledge they are / were wrong on certain issues, and apologize, they not only set a good example but also help their kids positively too. 2 Likes |

How else are you going to teach them to be apologetic when in the wrong if you don't set good examples yourself? |
Re: Should Parents Apologize To Their Children When They Are Wrong? by Nobody: 2:40am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Apology has nothing to do with age,... if you are wrong, then say it...'am sorry'. |
Re: Should Parents Apologize To Their Children When They Are Wrong? by Nobody: 4:52am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Yes,it will even impact on the child positively.. My mum does that,whenever she over-reacted to issues,or she knows she's offended you,she will openly apologize,and even call the other children to apologize on her behalf her. |

Yea sure parents should apologize. Don't know why my mother didn't apologize when she wrongly punished us. She is too big to say sorry to her kids. |

yes! especially if you yell at them way too much. Children are so emotional and at the end it could result to the logical thinking that you hate them. i remember when i was much younger, my parents try to apologize if they wronged me and my siblings, my mother especially, my father is so uptight and never cared ![]() |
