No relationship lasts very long without forgiveness. And this is never more true than at home!

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

I believe that forgiveness is one of those things that isn’t taught… it’s caught. Your kids will only learn how to ask for and offer forgiveness if they see you do model the process. This is often hard for parents. It doesn’t flow naturally. Parents don’t want to admit their failures. But let me help you out here… no one is perfect!

So next time you step over the line or say something that hurts someone else… whether inside or outside the family relationship… ask for forgiveness.

Saying two simple words, “I’m sorry,” restores relationships and allows for a new beginning.

When you model forgiveness you prepare your kids for healthy relationships.
