How to try it
After a squabble, once everyone has calmed down, help your child say sorry in their own words, without pushing if they are not ready yet. Then ask what could make it better, like handing back the toy, rebuilding the tower, or offering a hug, and let the other person say yes or no. A no is fine too.
