Like most parents, I felt guilty yelling at my daughter and said "I'm sorry." Of course, her response was always, "it's okay mommy." Hearing her at 2 saying that made my heart hurt. So I decided to teach her something instead. I said, "Don't say 'it's okay.' Because it's not. It's never okay for someone to hurt you or make you feel bad. So say 'thank you' instead. 'Thank you for recognizing you hurt me.' Since then I've gotten better about yelling and she's stopped saying 'it's okay.' via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2ohDZm3
