Children's Songs About Forgiveness

Singing with your children has many positive parenting benefits. Besides just being fun, it helps kids to express themselves and gives them a natural outlet for feelings and emotions. Songs can also be a great way to teach difficult concepts in a way that makes them easier for small children to understand. Forgiveness is a complicated idea, but one that kids can learn early, especially when taught through songs and stories.

The songbook and recordings of the songs are available for free download or for purchase on their children's website. There are two songs that talk specifically about forgiveness, "Help Me, Dear Father" for children, and "How Will They Know," a song for adults about teaching children to be more like the savior. Although not specifically written for children, there are also several more songs about forgiveness in the LDS hymnal, available for free download or purchase in printed form. Some of these songs are easily adapted to be taught to children.

    Non-Religious Songs
