Empathy

Our capacity for feeling empathy starts very early in life not just toddlers, infants as young as eight to 14 months old can show precursors to empathy, signs like displaying concern for a parent if they’re hurt or upset. The older we get, the more we can empathize.

Teaching empathy doesn’t just make kids more emotionally and socially competent; it can also help them be more successful and functioning citizens in the future.

Through our lessons, values and assembly we teach our students how to better understand their friends who may be different or have different ideas to them.
