Empathize with your child and model empathy for others.
Empathizing with children fosters trust, values, and behavior through understanding needs, genuine interest, and guidance.
Make caring for others a priority and set high ethical expectations
Children need to learn parents prioritize caring for others and happiness, even if it's not explicitly stated, to value perspectives and show compassion.
Provide opportunities for children to practice empathy
Empathy is born in children, but nurtured through practice, considering perspectives, and trial and error.
Expand your child's circle of concern
Empathy is measured by children's ability to empathize, but it's crucial for understanding and caring for diverse individuals.
