How can i teach my child to show empathy?

EMPATHY: You can teach your child by giving good example of doing empathy yourself. Children follow the good example of parents and by directly teaching them.

Empathy: By developing your own empathic range you will teach your child to model your behavior. Empathy grows and expands as we witness its powerful affect on others, as you show empathy to those in your life your child observes and develops his or her own empathic range. Best.
