Something interesting happened while picking dd up at nursery today. She got knocked over by one of her nursery playmates who got a bit overexcited and went flying into the toy pit, dd responded by wailing the place down. She also goes to another nursery and they always teach to say sorry, if they hurt one another on purpose or by accident.
I said to dds playmate: 'Oh poor dd. If you say sorry to her she'll feel much better', and the nursery worker said 'We don't teach sorry because they don't know what it means yet'.
I was a bit at this. I just wondered is this normal in nurseries? Because dd's other place seems to have different ideas.
We always say sorry at home, accident or not and dd knows what sorry means, she is nearly 3. Maybe I'm wrong?
