Opening Hearts: A Forgiveness Story
In a sunlit garden full of laughter, Ian learns the power of forgiveness after accidentally bumping his friend. His harsh words, fueled by "automatic negative thoughts" (ANTs!), make his friend cry. Seeing the tears, Ian pauses, breathes, and opens his heart to apologize. Together, they discover that forgiveness isn’t about excuses—it’s about choosing kindness, even when feelings are hurt.
