“instruct your children how to seek forgiveness well. Do not settle for perfunctory platitudes: “Say sorry to your brother.” “Sorry, brother.” Instead, guide them through a proper confession: “Son, look your brother in the eye. Tell him why you are sorry and admit your wrong specifically. Don’t make excuses for your actions, but take full responsibility. Then ask your brother to forgive you and accept the consequences. Okay now, everybody hug.” Children tend to move on quickly, but watch for passive-aggressive behavior which reveals an unforgiving spirit. Lay a solid foundation now because the future will hold more difficult tests than sibling rivalry.”
