Empathy is
learned. Kids aren't born with it, and they mainly learn it by
observing adults displaying empathy. We want our kids to show
empathy when it's appropriate. Being kind and compassionate to
others is a good character trait. In this episode, I talk
about how kids develop empathy, how abstract reasoning plays into
empathy development, and I explain a psychology term called "other
orientation".
