Forgive and Let Go!: A book about forgiveness (Being the Best Me!®)

After reading this with my son I realized this was not only for him but me too <3 Anyone can learn from this book.

We read it ‘

Bought this book for my home daycare and the kids enjoy it. The book is a great size and the pictures are great without reading the words we talked about what was happening. The book give great examples and is simple enough for my preschool group to understand.

Wonderful series for morals and learning how to accept and behave politely. Kids aren't born knowing how to react to things and this helps them consider what to do.

Love these positive books. Great way to help children solve issues or things that upset them.

We received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.I requested this book because when I read the title I thought K might need to read this book or at least have it read to him. He is at the age that he either doesn't like to forget what someone has done to him or he doesn't want to forgive them and he holds a grudge. Which I don't want him to do.With Forgive and Forget I enjoyed how it showed in the pictures different things that could happen to you but then it described that if this happens YOU can choose to forgive or let things go. One example that happens in our home is my daughter who is 2 tears up her brother's legos which he gets very upset about and wants to retaliate. I have to remind him that he can put them back together it is not a big deal. And in the book we see a picture of a brother knocking down some blocks and instead of getting upset he realizes that there is no need as the problem is not very important. And with that I had to let K know you see there is no need to get upset over something so little.I thought it was great that there were different situations within the story and what you can do to make them not so big and how to work them out. This is a good book to read to young kids that understand what is going on around them with their feelings and actions towards others. I have noticed a slight change with how K approaches things that happen to him. He isn't quick to lash out with anger, so maybe this book did get through to him.

Because my son has a hard time with saying sorry and is known to hold a grudge the second I saw this one on *Netgalley I knew I had to request it.Forgive and Let Go shows situations where children may become angry because of something another person does. It emphasizes that saying your sorry is important learning to forgive people for making mistakes even if they fail to apologize.I appreciated this book for the message it was teaching. I love that it validated children's feelings when others do things that hurt/bother them. But it also taught that you have to let things go and forgive others. The pictures did a good job representing the different situations that were brought up.I might have to read this to my son a few more times to help reinforce the message to him but he seemed to understand what the book was trying to say. I think though we will still have a hard time getting him to say he is sorry.I would say this was a 4 out of 5 stars.*I received a free copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion**This book was read with my special needs son who is severely learning disabled. The review reflects not only my opinion but his as well

As with other books from this series, if the kid's 3-4, it's a lot more work for whoever reads to them. This book just involves too much work that I've decided to hold it until my daughter is 5 or 6. It is NOT very helpful for a young child just learning and establishing her own boundaries. Forgiveness IS an important virtue, BUT they've got to know a few premises first: what counts as small things? What are big and important things? Where are your boundaries and where do you draw the line? What are the situations where you can just let go and what are those that it's not healthy or fair to ask you to let go? When should you speak up and/stand up for yourself? When should you just shrug and walk away? Without such knowledge, a young child may get really confused. So I would say this book may be a better read for a 7 yo, instead of a 4 yo. I would gladly find a book about boundaries and kind but effective ways of establishing them, instead of this one or a young child.
