[blparent] an apology?

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

Sounds like you did the right thing. 
Parents are only in charge so much. Gabb's friend learned a lesson that
will stick far more then Grandma making her appologize and that lesson
came after she sat alone for a few days and was austrosized from the
class. 
Parents can coerse a child to appolgize, they can't make other kids play
with said child.  
Kids are great at teaching social norms. 
Btw, congrads on Gab's communion! Also, congrads on the other kids who
had special days last weekend.

I agree and disagree with that statement.  You are right, a forced
appologee doesn't mean squatt, but if a parent forces an appologee the
child knows the
parent is in charge.   But it is always better for the kid to do it
themselves and this is why I pondered even telling Kiana's grandmother
about what happened.  But Gab wanted me to.  So I did. V

Yeah, a forced appology isn't worth squat. 
Glad Gabbs and her friend have kissed and made up. That skill will serve
both of them well.

It's better when kids apologize on their own instead of getting forced
to by adults.  Kiana probably really meant the apology since it came
from her directly.
