The lesson “Understanding the Difference Between Guilt and Shame” teaches about personal responsibility as well as managing and monitoring feelings and emotions, specifically understanding how healthy guilt for actions differs from feeling ashamed as a person. The children will be able to verbalize the difference between the two emotions, as well as identify appropriate actions to take when experiencing the feelings, specifically asking the Lord for forgiveness. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the ninth lesson in the 2nd year “Emotional Development” unit.
