Empathy is the ability to feel how another person is feeling and imagine what it would be like to be in their position. Empathy means you feel and understand someone’s feelings in your heart.
Help your child understand empathy at home by :
Discussing how to recognize the feelings people are experiencing.
Discussing the importance of listening to the words that people are saying.
Thinking about how others might feel in a variety of situations.
