Here’s a way to explain this in a way kids might understand:
Imagine your feelings are like a backpack.
When someone hurts you, it feels like they put a big rock in your backpack.
It makes you feel angry, sad, or even grumpy.
Holding onto that hurt is like carrying the rock with you everywhere.
It gets heavy and makes it hard to play and have fun.
Forgiving someone means taking the rock out of your backpack.
It doesn’t mean you like what they did or that you forget about it.
It just means you decide not to carry that heavy feeling around anymore.
Letting go of the hurt is like giving yourself a break.
It makes your backpack lighter, so there’s room for happy things instead!
