• Through the activity, the student learned the importance of taking responsibility for their actions and demonstrating remorse and regret when they have done something wrong.
• Apologizing also provided the 3 year old with an opportunity to practice good manners and politeness, as they learned to use "please" and "thank you" during the apology process.
