Parenting School Age Children
How can I encourage my child to develop empathy?
Empathy develops through noticing others’ feelings and perspectives. Use stories, real-life examples, and role-playing to explore emotions. Praise acts of kindness and understanding. Teach your child to ask, “How would I feel?” when interacting with others. Modeling empathetic behavior yourself deepens learning. Empathy strengthens relationships and social skills.
