The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness for preschoolers might sound as fun as eating broccoli, right? Yet, it’s just as essential. Teaching forgiveness helps children manage their emotions and interact positively with others. Imagine your little one sharing toys with a smile rather than a scream.
Forgiveness is about letting go of hurt and moving forward, and yoga and mindfulness are perfect tools to teach this. It’s not about saying sorry automatically but understanding why it matters.
