Nice to consider. The attempt at conveying sorrow counts little unless a child also proceeds to follow through with action. Glad to see this post.
IJust a half hour ago I asked my fiver year-old son to apologize to Grandpa for being silly at the start of dinner. I stopped and decided what to have him say and do to make sure it was a sincere apology. I think it worked well. He first said he was sorry for number one "acting silly when it was not appropriate." and number two informed Grandpa, "I will be serious for the rest of the dinner." Grandpa was happy and my son did great. Definitely better than having him say sorry alone.
