October is Bullying Prevention Month. Fostering empathy in our children helps prevent bullying and helps them build courage to stand up for others. Empathy is being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, to feel what they are feeling. Model empathy by not ignoring or dismissing others’ feelings, even when they are different from your own. If you observe someone in distress (in real life, on TV, or in a book), talk with your child about how that person must feel. Even brief conversations can be powerful.
