Building Empathy in Kids

An empathy-building resource for teachers and parents.

Teachers and parents seek to nurture empathy in students and children. By fostering empathy, children can learn to consider others' feelings and develop strong character. Created by a classroom teacher of over 20 years and a mother of 4, she considers this the most vital lesson for her students and children.

This standout among empathy books for teachers and parents features:

• 37 video lessons, along with summaries and discussion prompts

• Short stories that help children create mental images

• Posters that serve as a useful reference tool

• Black and white images designed to inspire meaningful conversations, asking questions like: What do you think is happening? Why? How would you feel? Has this ever happened to you? What would you do?

Each story in this collection comes with thought-provoking questions. Dedicate one story per week and revisit it to reinforce essential values like being understanding and showing compassion. Stories can spark conversations and help children understand different perspectives and emotions beyond their own.

This book should help change the narrative in your classroom or home to thinking of someone else before thinking of ME!

Teach kids to put others first with powerful stories that reinforce what it means to show empathy.
