The Empathy Advantage

Coaching Children to Be Kind, Respectful, and Successful

About this book

We live in a time when empathy is not only lacking but on the decline. Kids are bullied because of the color of their skin, religion, culture, disability, and more. The good news is that empathy--the ability to "walk in someone else's shoes"--can be taught.

In The Empathy Advantage, Lynne Azarchi guides parents through how they can teach empathy to their kids. She provides tips, strategies, online resources, and activities that are fun and engaging and take just 10 to 20 minutes. Together, these tools help readers understand the dynamics of bullying and teach children to stand up not only for themselves but others. Azarchi also explores topics such as managing media in the home, the value of pets, active listening, and self-compassion.

The Empathy Advantage is for even the busiest parents and caregivers who want to help their children better navigate the world with self-compassion and empathetic concern. Just a little effort can transform a child into a more sensitive, caring human being. And while empathy may be not be a cure-all, the payoff will last a lifetime.
