The purpose of this study was to examine effects of a forgiveness education program on the level of forgiveness and attachment level in elementary school children who had formed mother insecure attachment.
As a result, first, the experimental group showed a higher mean in the level of forgiveness and its sub-areas than the control group, but showing a significant increase only in the behavioral area; there was a significant increase in the level of forgiveness within the experimental group. Second, the experimental group showed a higher mean in the level of mother attachment and its sub-areas, but showing a significant increase only in the communication area; there was statistically significant difference in results within the experimental group. With the process of the program, positive changes could be found in children through children\'s writings about their
impression on activities and teachers\' observations. It was therefore demonstrated that a forgiveness education program was partially effective in improving level of mother attachment and the level of forgiveness in children with insecure attachment.
