Simple Strategies For Teaching Kids What Empathizing Is - Part -1

You must have understood by now why emphasizing is regarded as the heart of all life skills. After discussing what it is exactly, and how important it is to develop oneself in life,

 

 

Honor Empathizing Acts By Children.

 

Acknowledge and praise your child for empathizing with others. Emphasizing and encouraging compassionate behavior inspires more of it in the future.

 

 

Be precise while praising: "You went and got a Band-Aid for her scraped knee so she could feel better. That was extremely helpful and kind!" Or just say that "helping your mom in the kitchen reduced her time and helped her go to the office on time."

 

 

Read Stories

 

Teaching empathy through characters is the best way to do it. Children offer love to imitate their favorite characters and if they are empathizing with the stories, what can be better than that? Choose the stories wisely though.

 

 

Teach Social Skills In The Exact Moment.

 

Ask your daughter if she snatches a toy from her little brother "How do you think your brother feels? How do you feel when he steals your toys?" At this point, you could teach your daughter more appropriate ways to request a toy, like by asking for a turn, bartering, or trying another item while she waits. When social skills are taught in a context, children learn them far more quickly.

 

 

Use Visuals.

 

Visual aids are yet another fantastic method for teaching kids different aspects of empathizing. Use images of sad, angry, or joyful faces if your kid appears to struggle with emotion recognition and/or labeling. You can gradually progress to more difficult feelings like fear, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, etc.

 

Children might be questioned about times they experienced similar emotions while you talk about how the people in the photos are experiencing. Give personal examples to illustrate that even adults experience strong emotions and that this is entirely normal.
