Empathy is learned and modeled. Parents who model empathy towards themselves and their child, create an environment for their child to also extend empathy towards themselves and others.
When your child is going through something, it is an opportunity for you the parent to model empathy and compassion by validating what your child is feeling. There are no “bad” feelings. When children are heard, seen, and validated they gain confidence and are open to connect.
Come hang out with Meg and I, as we share how you the parent can model empathy and why empathy is a crucial component to healthy relationships.
