How to Teach Kids Empathy

In episode 416 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, we are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with psychologists, therapists, neuroscientists and other experts on the science of personal growth. The month of May will focus on why empathetic kids succeed in our all about me world and features educational psychologist, parenting and child expert and the author of "Unselfie", Dr. Michele Borba.  This episode is about how to increase emotional literacy.  She talks about why empathy is a verb, how to teach empathy to kids young and old, why teaching to kids will help you improve on empathy as a parent, how a parent can create empathy for a child in as little as 30 seconds, what the three kinds of empathy are (the ABCs) and how you can teach each with an exercise.
