  1. Model forgiveness within the family.\u00a0<\/strong>Parents can teach their children about the value of forgiveness by regularly practicing it in their own lives. A recent study found that parents who were more forgiving\u00a0toward\u00a0<\/em>their children at the start of the year tended to receive greater forgiveness\u00a0from<\/em>\u00a0their children at the end of the year.<\/li>\n
  2.

Help your child become aware of, embody, and respond to various emotions through role-playing and other activities.<\/li>\n
