Next Tuesday is Empathy Day, where the focus is on how reading can help children (and adults) to build empathy.
Empathy has been described as a human superpower. It’s our ability to understand and share someone else’s feelings. Empathy is made up of three main elements:
- feeling,
- thinking
- acting.
This video shows the difference between sympathy and empathy.
In the run up to Empathy Day, Empathy Lab have created a lovely activity pack of things you can do to build an understanding of what empathy is and encourage it at home.
