Week #1 Family Mechanics



Big Idea : No Matter How You’ve Done Me Wrong, I
Know We Can Get Along!
Weekly Scripture “Do your part to live in peace with everyone, as
much as possible.” - Romans 12:18


Admitting you’re wrong and asking for forgiveness is never fun,
but learning how to do it when you’re young can make it easier later on.
Explain to your children that there are three steps in the forgiveness
process: admit you’re wrong, ask for forgiveness, and make things right.
Tell them to pretend they broke a toy they weren’t supposed to be
playing with, and then have them repeat the following sentences:
• It was wrong for me to play with that toy. I’m sorry I broke it.
• Will you forgive me?
• What can I do to make it right?
Parents, it’s your job to help your children understand what
they’ve done wrong. In the scenario above, breaking the toy wasn’t the
issue—it was probably an accident. The child disobeyed by playing with
the toy in the first place. Make sure your child knows what he or she did
wrong; otherwise, instead of being sorry they disobeyed, they may just be
sorry that they got caught.
Talk about the following scenes with your children. Ask your
children what the person did that was wrong and how he or she should
ask for forgiveness.
• Sarah said mean things to a friend
• Michael didn’t clean his room when his mother told him to
• Abby rode her bike through a neighbor’s yard and ran over some
flowers
• Justin played a trick on a friend that caused his friend to be
embarrassed
Pray together, asking God to give you the courage to seek
forgiveness when you’ve done something wrong. Thank Him for always
forgiving you when you repent.
