Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen, are back at the Blue Colony Diner in Newtown, CT discussing forgiveness. Trauma is a universal part of the human experience, and helping kids develop the emotional intelligence to face their pain with curiosity rather than shame or avoidance could be life-changing. When children (and adults) learn to explore their pain, they can transform it into self-awareness, resilience, and even compassion for others. Forgiveness makes you stronger because when you forgive you take your power back!
