EXAMPLE :

I enjoy reading memoirs, one of my favorites being Girl Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen. This story follows Susanna as she enters a psychiatric hospital. Susanna details the interactions that she has with other patients as she is on her road to recovery. I was a teeneager when I first read this book and it made me feel that I was not alone in my own struggles with mental health. It helped me step outside of my own life and see that others are struggling too. I believe that it is important for children to read or listen to books from a different perspective. In order to learn empathy and kindness children need to understand that everyone has their own experience in this world. At a young age, children are egotistical, which is developmentally appropriate. They see the world through their own eyes and at times have a difficult time understanding why others might think a different way. One way that parents and educators can help children develop empathy is by giving them experiences where they interact with a variety of people. This can be done by reading stories as well. We can ask children pointed questions, such as “How would have you reacted” or “Why do you think the character responded that way”. When we give children opportunities to see the world through someone else’s eyes, we are setting up a foundation for caring for others even if they are different from us.

Questions:

1. How do you help students in your classroom develop empathy?

2. Have you ever had an experience with another person that changed the way you view the world?

3. Do you think some children naturally have more empathy or do you think that it is a learned skill?
