The scientifically supported methods offered by Dr. Jim Dincalci, a multiple award-winning author, will help teens and children feel better and move forward freed of resentment, guilt, and anger, by letting go of painful upsets or hurts.

• It gives activities to help children's emotional development.

Decades of research and centuries of religious teaching support that forgiveness can help adults, adolescents, and children heal upsets and trauma of the past and enjoy better mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Studies show that forgiveness will help children acquire skills in (a) pro-social behaviors, (b) moral development, (c) dealing with aggressive behaviors and conflicts, (d) cooperation and team building.

Research shows that forgiveness is a prerequisite for:

• decreasing anger.
• initiating reconciliation.
• facilitating interpersonal relationships.

It helps your child with:

• depression, introversion, and anxiety.
• aggressiveness and hostility.
• positive mental health and well-being.

Forgiveness is connected to many positive personality traits, like:

• Agreeableness
• Conscientiousness
• Emotion Management and stability
• Compassionate understanding

Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, acknowledged Dr. Jim for contributing to his The Book of Forgiving and Jim’s spending “over twenty-five years counseling and teaching people who are struggling to forgive.”

Helping your child let go of regret, guilt, and self-blame is the true heart and force of this work, called Power Forgiveness. Self-forgiveness and self-compassion hold the key to releasing any upsets.

This book discusses the studies that help us understand forgiveness. Neuroscience has given us deep insight into the brain’s workings that have changed long-held assumptions about our thinking. Forgiveness research has given us untold data proving the power of forgiving on our mental, emotional, and physical health. Research in Forgiveness therapy has given us insight into making forgiveness counseling more effective.

“Dr. Jim Dincalci has been doing this work for decades and has amassed in this book a treasure trove of clear understanding, counseling wisdom and advice, and science that supports the importance of forgiveness for living a good life.”
- Dr. Loren Toussaint, Professor of Psychology, Director, Laboratory for the Investigation of Mind, Body, and Spirit
