Empathy
Empathy is the feeling that you understand and share another person's experiences and emotions : the ability to share someone else's feelings or trying to understand what another person is feeling. It is seeing the world through another’s eyes. It helps people get along better and feel better. Having empathy is a key ingredient to your child becoming the best person s/he can be. Students can practice empathy by:
listening to someone rather than trying to talk to them
asking someone how they are feeling if you think there is something wrong
learning about people from different backgrounds and cultures
showing concern and care for others
paying attention to the needs of others
getting to know someone better instead of judging them
Now, check out our list of great empathy quotes for kids:
“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.” – Alfred Adler
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” – Mother Teresa
“We judge what we don’t understand.” – Unknown
“If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” – Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
