How to Talk to Your Kids About Empathy with Stories from Around the World
An invaluable addition to any home or school library! This book features five captivating tales hailing from diverse corners of the globe, all centered on the theme of EMPATHY. Each story is accompanied by thought-provoking prompts for family or classroom discussions.
While many parents grapple with how to broach weighty subjects such as war, violence, racism, drugs, sex, anxiety, and bullying, they may overlook a fundamental aspect of their child's the cultivation of virtues. Without an understanding of empathy, how can we expect our children to navigate the complexities of the world around them?
Narratives serve as a gateway for children to explore new worlds and scenarios. As they journey through these stories, their thoughts may align or diverge from the characters', but the key is that they embark on a path of learning, reflection, and dialogue, gradually forging their moral compass. This book serves as an inspirational catalyst for this journey, fostering open and constructive conversations about diversity, inclusion, and diverse perspectives.
Recommended for ages 4-15 and adults.

Love this
This is a very much-needed book. Empathy is something many people in this world are lacking due to over exposure to technology and devices.
And I love the fact it is relatable with stories that help them actually think about this and put it in context. Great book!
