Empathy is about connecting with others based on our relationships with them. It involves showing concern, support, and being present and attentive. Beyond emotional support, empathy means truly understanding another person's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. To practice empathy, pause to reflect on the other person's perspective, accepting their feelings without sharing unnecessary personal experiences. Remember it's not possible to be empathetic all the time. When you choose to be, genuinely listen and be there for others in a way that respects their individuality and experiences. Empathy is about connection and understanding, making a meaningful impact on both sides.
At Ginny's Planet, we engage children from age 2 onwards in conversations about empathy and its nuances. Our products and workshops combine child rights, diversity, disability, empathy, inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing, aiming to help children develop empathy, appreciate diversity, and foster inclusive mindsets.
