Kids not sayng sorry

Tweet

My sister in law posted an articular from the Huffyington post. I'll put the link below if anyone wants to read it. I read it based off the fact that my sister in law and my husband and I don't parent the same so are views are different. She parents doesn't make her kids say sorry for when they hurt someone. since we all know children do not understand empathy till they are older each kid learns that in there own time. The article states letting kids say "I'm sorry" when they hurt someone is teaching them its okay to lie and we shouldn't promote or your kids into thinking lying is okay. This is where I differ with the article and my sister in law. Yes I make my kids say "I'm sorry" regardless if at this age I know they don't undestand 100% why I'm making them do so but they need to know it's not okay and yes I know lying isn't okay but I don't see saying I'm sorry as lying. Because one day when someone does something to them that they did someone else they will understand it hurts and that is why mommy and daddy made them say "I'm sorry". My parents made me when growing up and I have empathy for others and I understand when I've done wrong and need to say those words even if it doesn't make that person feel better It'll make me feel better and not guilty any more. What's your thoughts? yes or no?
