In an effort to make sure your child understands that they need to be accountable for their behavior, you might be in the habit of telling your child that they must apologize to you or others. In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor explains why forcing your child to parrot I’m-sorrys may not help them develop true remorse. 

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
