Can you please provide a reference in which you studied young children learning about forgiveness with the use of the concept of inherent worth?
Yes, here is a study conducted in Northern Ireland with primary school children that focused on inherent worth and forgiveness. The first-grade students (Primary 3 in Northern Ireland) statistically significantly decreased in anger. The third-grade students (Primary 5 in Northern Ireland) showed a statistically significant increase in forgiving a person who hurt them. They statistically significantly decreased in anger and psychological depression.
