TEACHING CHILDREN EMPATHY, THE SOCIAL EMOTION

By Tonia Caselman. Based on the premise that greater empathy-related awareness and skills can help prevent negative social behaviors such as bullying, meanness, and alienation, this book provides lessons, activities, and reproducible worksheets that help kids put themselves in someone else’s shoes. Lessons teach students how to know their own feelings, read others’ feelings, listen, be supportive of others, make and keep friends, resolve conflicts, accept diversity, and develop self-respect. Grades K–6. Bibliography. Appendix. 8½" x 11". YouthLight. 131 pages. 2014 edition.
