Virtue Focus: Forgiving Yourself
When a child develops the ability to forgive themselves, they understand their fallibility and culpability equally. They know they will make mistakes, but they also begin to understand that errors are part of life’s learning process. Forgiving themselves is a vital part of that learning.
Tips for training your child to develop Forgiveness of Themselves:
- Discuss with your child mistakes that you make, both small and big. Let them see you accept responsibility, but also see you give yourself grace.
- Next time they make a mistake, use similar language to apply a forgiveness reasoning to their error.
