Product Description
Empathy is a fundamental social emotion because it brings a sense of emotional connection to others. It is this awareness that is not only basic to all healthy relationships; it is the root of prosocial behavior, altruism, kindness, and peace. Empathy has cognitive, affective, and behavioral components that can be learned and improved upon by children. Each topic-related lesson includes five inviting worksheets that can be reproduced and used repeatedly with elementary school-aged students. Grades K-6. |

Extremely Pleased by Just Looking (Divide, Co USA)  5 Stars
October 05, 2009
I bought this book because I have an only child, daughter 10, who is a great kid but VERY self-absorbed. We have done the usual parenting to try to encourage her to think of other's feelings, but it doesn't come naturally to her and she has a hard time "getting it".
This book was more useful than I even expected. How can you teach empathy? The sections are quite specific. Empathy and Learning to Read Others Feelings. Empathy through Listening. Temporarily Putting Your Own Feelings Aside. (This is big for my daughter!) Empathy and Making Supportive Statements. Empathy and Conflict Resolution. The worksheets are great, and again, very specific. The book doesn't just say "do these things", it helps kids find their own way HOW to do them. I am extremely pleased and we will be using this book in our family.
