The ability to forgive is one of the most important qualities of the human person. But still, even an adult can be very difficult to forgive from the bottom of my heart. Often we carry in our hearts grievances that eat away at our soul from the inside, forever remaining pain points. Therefore, it is very important to instill in the child the ability to forgive in order to boldly and freely move on in life.
In modern reality, teaching children to forgive their offenders is not very popular - exactly the opposite, it is customary to teach them to "give change." But the desire to respond with violence to violence leads to an increase in conflict.
The ability to forgive others is the basis of all interpersonal relationships in society. In order for a child to learn not to hold a grudge against others, it is necessary to set a personal example for him. In early childhood, looking at the reaction of their parents, children learn to react to the world around them.
If you demonstrate by personal example that it will not be difficult to resolve any conflict situation, this will allow your children to understand how forgiveness is necessary in life and communication with other people. Your children (whether they are young or teenagers) should always ask for forgiveness if they offend someone. The words "Forgive me" should not become an empty phrase for them, or a way to avoid punishment, they should be felt by the child.
It is believed that children who grow up in a single parent or large family are most often affected by offenses. But this is a misconception, which is akin to a cliche. In reality, the composition of the family is not so important, and rather plays a far from primary role in this problem. More sensitive are impressionable children and children with a weak nervous system, as well as toddlers who lack attention from their parents.
Helping your children understand the need and value of forgiveness, you should, first of all, instill in them respect for the people around them, show that they are all different, but this is why they are valuable. Children must fully master the art of empathy, responsibility and justice. Teaching your children to forgive, you help them in the future to better adapt in society and just become good people.
