Empathy
Teaching Kids To Value Others
What
Is Empathy?
Empathy Not only is it the ability to recognize how
someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person.
It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids
Need To See Adults Show Empathy
While some children are gifted with naturally kind
hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modelled by the adults around
them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show
an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in
a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet
Emotional Needs
When children have their emotional needs met, two things
happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are
anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to
give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty
jug cannot fill a cup.
Develop
Their Inner Moral Compass
Teaching your kids the difference between right and
wrong from a young age gives them a strong internal moral compass that will
direct them to make good choices. In situations that require a decision, help
them to see how our choices and behaviour affect others.
Empathetic
Kids: Givers Not Takers
By raising your kids to understand and practice
empathy, you’re giving them the gift of giving. In a world where great emphasis
is placed on looking out for your own interests, people who are givers are all
too rare. But they are the ones who enjoy the greatest satisfaction from life,
live the most meaningful lives, and enjoy more rewarding relationships.
Teaching your kids empathy is a worthwhile investment for their own futures and
for the world they will inhabit.
