Forgiveness is such a power move! When we can teach our children that forgiveness is a gift that they give to themselves, we can help them let go of judgment, resentment, and misunderstanding. However, forgiveness is so much more than just saying the words “I forgive you.” In order for forgiveness to be effective, we must teach and allow our children to be able to embody it and feel compassion.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered if you should force your kids to forgive. We’ll discuss why it’s so important that kids forgive only when they’re ready, and I’ll help you navigate how that conversation can sound. We’ll explore how we can teach our kids that forgiveness is not about accepting, agreeing with, or condoning what happened. And finally, we’ll talk about why it’s so important for us to model forgiveness for our children.
