[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you model empathy and kindness in your daily life?
Not judging you by any means but they learn what they see around them. I have  a 7yo only DD and she is very empathetic. We have books about how people are different, we talk about helping others, just last week I saw someone approaching a door in a wheelchair and and told DD to grab the door for the person so they wouldn't have to. I try and show her in daily life how to treat others with respect.
Our Church collects food weekly for a local food pantry so we make a point of buying extra cereal each week. 
She has a friend with autism and she understands on a 7yo level that his brain is a bit different and he doesnt understand social cues like she does. She holds his hand walking into school every day and when I asked her why she said it stops him from running and getting into trouble.

You have to model what you want them to see,[/quote]

Because kids have actual personalities. You aren’t driving this bus. Even If you think you are. My daughter has been exposed to all the same. She’s kind but she’s not “nice” and I’m okay with that. I was nice. I was nice at the expense of myself. F that. For all girls. I’m not okay with mean but I’m also okay with not being the nicest in The room. [/quote]
