Teaching children life skills: Empathy

Hey kids! Have you ever peeped into your inner self? How do you do that? Just try and recollect if you are caring. Did you try to understand your friends? Say for example, your friend had failed in an exam or scored low and she was feeling sad. Did you try to understand how she must be feeling? Did you make an effort to talk to her in a soothing voice or just sit next to her and give her company? If you did then voila`! you have a magic power. That magic power is called empathy. It helps us to peep in other peoples' mind. It enables us to know the mood of our friends and family members and help them. What is Empathy?  Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feeling of another. It’s like putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and seeing the world from their point of view.
