Sometimes it’s the easy things, like just modeling compassionate behavior, that helps kids to become more caring and responsible. I also really believe that the more we show respect for and learn about other cultures, the more open and empathetic our kids are.

I liked how you involve your kids in helping other kids. Kids can relate to each other when they are together. I think kids need these interactive experiences to help them learn to be empathetic with other kids. Good article!

Thank you Erin:). In writing the article, I was reflecting a lot about my every day behavior and how I can model empathy and compassion more on a daily basis. Sometimes I do things (like dropping off a meal for a new mom) and I don’t ever explain to the kids the “why;” but really it’s the perfect opportunity for a quick conversation about taking care of others when they need it.

Thank you Sara. Two of my sons are adopted, and come from regions where there is such deep poverty. I have found that it is such an abstract idea to teach kids about poverty when have been blessed with a home, have access to healthy food and water, can go to school every day, etc. I think a part of empathy though is being able to put yourself into another person’s shoes, and try to see things form their perspective. So in a way, these small steps of teaching kids about other cultures is helping them become more empathetic. As they grow up there will be bigger challenges, but we can build on the foundation we give them as little ones:).

This is beautifully written and the examples of your own children and amazing and heart warming. I will certainly be thinking about this and how to better teach/model/discuss empathy with my two girls.

This article gave me goosebumps. I try to tell my son about poor children who don’t have all of the many blessings he enjoys, but I like the idea of appreciation for other cultures being another way of teaching empathy.
