Do you apologize to your LO when you've done something wrong like lost your temper etc?

I do especially if I jumped to conclusions and didn't realize what he was attempting to do.

Yea....all the time.
Especially when i hurt his feelings or scare him by being stern with him. It's usually a generic, "Mommy didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I'm sorry I yelled at you, but you need to listen when i tell you not to run in the road. You could have been hurt really badly" (or whatever it was he did that made me yell at him)

Definitely, I make a point to do it. She doesn't really get it yet, but I think that's starting to change.

Same as Heather too. I think it's really important for our kids to experience us apologizing. I think it's made her better at apologizing too, and understanding when it's warranted and appropriate to do so.

Yes. Especially when I accidently bump into him or step on his toe or something like that.

Same as Heather here too. I'm always on DH over stuff like this. How can you expect a child to learn manners if the adults in their lives can't behave properly, right?

I do too, especially if I got snippy with her over something I'd normally have more patience with. The other morning she tripped on the dog and I heard her all "Oh me sorry ry-ry" and I thought "yep, if my kid is apologizing to the DOG without being prompted, then we'er doing okay in this department" haha

Major apologized to me the other day cause he tripped over my phone charger cord. It was totally unnecessary but I was proud of him to think to apologize.

Ditto to Heather!
J apologizes to us too when necessary. She recognizes when she did something wrong or hurt someone...

This. Lately her thing when we raise our voice or talk sternly is "Mommy, you scare me" with crocodile tears and a sad look on her face....it kills me.
She will say sorry unpromted. Sometimes she says it to like the door if she bumps into it..."Oh, sorry door."

Totally. It's the best way to teach your child how you want them act toward others.
