Growing Empathy, Devloping Tolerance

EMPATHY is the ability to understand and care about the feelings of others. Empathy leads to kindness and healthy communities.  

Empathy requires having an interest in other people’s lives and being open-minded to the differences that make each person unique. 

What are the steps to empathy? 

~ Listen carefully to what others are saying

~ Imagine yourself in the same situation

~ Be sure you understand

~ Offer to help in some way

Working and learning at home might feel challenging sometimes, and wearing a mask and practicing social distancing in school can be hard too, so now is the perfect time to practice your empathy!

The next time you notice someone feeling grumpy or sad, practice your empathy. Challenge yourself to understand how they are feeling and see if you can find a way to help.
