Forgiveness
Forgiveness is all about tolerance, grace and letting go. Kids high in forgiveness are comfortable forgiving others and bringing understanding when they’ve been wronged.
When one is bringing too little forgiveness to a situation, they may appear easily triggered or merciless, whereas when one is bringing too much forgiveness then they may appear overly lenient or come across as a doormat.
Explore forgiveness and related elements of apology, acceptance and humanity in the curated books below.
This picture book explores forgiveness and shows how a bad mood can spread. It opens up conversation and thinking about why friends may treat us poorly sometimes and how we might treat them in return. The animals’ faces are illustrated with such sweet feeling and warmth toward the end.
