"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - March 18, 2019
Positivity Project - Forgiveness
Our focus this week will be on the character strength of Forgriveness
Forgiveness is the ability to move past being injured, and allow yourself to reconcile with the person who hurt you. Forgiveness can often be seen as a selfless act, but it also carries many benefits for those who practice it. Those who demonstrate forgiveness have the ability to move forward after someone has hurt them. Forgiveness is often rooted in the idea that all people are valuable and worthy of a second chance. Many who forgive have the ability to consider things from another’s perspective.
The parent virtue for the Forgiveness is Temperance. Strengths of temperance protect us from excess. Strengths comprised in this virtue are forgiveness, humility/modesty, prudence, and self-control.
Please use these quotes, video links, and character card to host conversations with your child about the character strength.
"Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." ~Bruce Lee
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." ~Paul Lewis Boese
