I think perhaps “Two wrongs don’t make a right” is one of the most important lessons we can teach our children.
Sometimes in our anger our first reaction is to lash out. We’ve all been guilty of this.
Except returning in kind does not really rectify anything. It might make us feel better initially, but we can’t feel proud when we have done a wrong as well.
Helping children to brainstorm some ideas of better ways to react to a wrong will help them more in the long run. Actually giving them tools and strategies will arm them for the future.
Teaching our children to aspire to live with integrity is a legacy of love we can leave to them.
