Empathy is a beautiful superpower that helps you understand how other people are feeling! If you see a friend crying because they fell down, empathy makes your heart feel a little sad for them too. It helps you know exactly what to do to make them feel loved and cared for.
When you have empathy, you can almost feel what another person is feeling. If your friend is sad, you might feel a little sad too. If your friend is happy, their joy can make you smile! Empathy is like having a special connection with the people around you.
You can show empathy by asking if someone would like a hug, sharing a toy, or just sitting quietly with someone who is upset. Try imagining how you would feel in their shoes. Listening carefully when someone talks to you is one of the best ways to show empathy!
