These one-to-one empathy sessions support; well-being, healing, practicing to be a better listener and supporting you in creating empathic environments in your relationships, family, school, work, communities and beyond.
“Before children can identify and empathize with other people’s feelings, they need to understand how to process their own feelings,” she continued. “Once they can identify their own emotion, they’re better able to develop those self-regulation skills to control their own emotions ― and then take the next step to understand the emotions of others.”

La empatía es necesaria en la sociedad. Docentes y familias debemos trabajar juntos para que los niños/as reconozcan y controlen sus emociones pero también sean capaces de reconocer y comprender la de los demás, logrando así que se relacionen entre ellos de forma adecuada
We found that the more empathic a mother was toward her teenager at age 13, the more empathic the teen was toward their close friends across the adolescent years. Among teens who later had kids themselves, the ones who had shown more empathy for close friends as adolescents became more supportive parents as adults. In turn, these parents’ supportive responses to their children’s distress were associated with reports of their young children’s empathy.
Empathy, or the ability to understand and share in the experience of emotions with others, is an essential element of all human relationships. Research also supports the importance of empathy, finding that more empathetic individuals have better quality friendships, enhanced social skills, and are more satisfied with their lives — to name just a few of the benefits.
In a world that seems increasingly divided and cold, many of us parents want to raise more empathetic children but how exactly do parents foster empathy? If we are empathetic with our children, will they show the same to others? And will the empathy that we show to them ultimately help them to become empathetic adults?
How do you teach empathy? Richard Weissbourd, the co-faculty director of the Human Development Psychology Program at Harvard’s School of Education, studies that very question.
“When you look at the state of the country today, you can see the consequences of our having demoted kindness and concern for the common good,” says Weissbourd, who directs the university’s Making Caring Common Project, which centers on the moral and social development of children. So he and his team have set out to put kindness and concern for others “front and center in child raising.”
Weissbourd argues that kindness is a muscle like anything else, and parents need to lead by example. In his view, kids should be expected to do chores, contribute to their community and help out neighbors in need. “Kindness develops when we practice it all the time,” he explains.
When it comes to the trait of empathy, when and how you show it to your kids can have a big influence on how they act, both through adolescence and as parents themselves years later. Researchers at the University of Virginia say the trait is one that’s passed down through generations, beginning with moms.
That’s the conclusion of a study that followed nearly 200 people from the time they were teenagers to when they had their own kids more than 20 years later. The UVA research team filmed each pair discussing a problem the teen needed help with then noted how much empathy the mothers exhibited to their children. In all, three generations were studied for more than two decades.
What I’m wondering is if a 90 minute Empathy Circle that had a quantifiable goal of reducing suffering would that increase the interest in joining an Empathy Circle as a participant. What is marvelous about the basic empathy circle practice is its inherent focus on openness, care, and mutuality. These are the core values taught in the empathy circle facilitator training courses.
What I have found facilitating empathy circles is very often individuals bring their suffering to the circle and just by having the group listen in an empathic way to their struggle it has a uplifting effect on the individual. Clearly, this listening doesn't physically address or cure their suffering, but for many it might be their first steps toward healing. I should note that a core value of Empathy Circles is no judgements and no prescriptions are given in the circles. Just simple human empathy is conveyed.
In the first finding of its kind, University of Virginia researchers have discovered that empathy is passed from one generation to the next. And it all starts with moms.
“What we found was that mothers’ empathy for their teens at age 13 predicted that teen’s empathy for their friends across the adolescent years,” lead author Jessica Stern, a developmental psychologist, said. “Then, that ability to show empathy toward your friends when you’re a teenager predicts that you’ll be a more supportive parent much later on in adulthood.”
Stern said empathy is “really important for all sorts of social relationships.”

What is the importance of empathy in a relationship?
A 2005 study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found empathy to be positively associated with well-being. It is important not just for your well-being, but also your relationships. Psychiatrist Dr Rahul Rai Kakkar explains some of the key reasons why empathy is an essential ingredient to enhance the flavour of every relationship.
> From birth, we are wired to respond to the suffering of others.
>When adults try to manipulate behavior by giving kids rewards, children actually become less helpful.
> Our capacity to perceive and resonate with others’ suffering allows us to feel and understand their pain.
We have known for a long time that babies cry when they hear other babies cry, and once they have enough physical competence, they soothe others in distress. Harriet Rheingold was the first to describe how infants at 18 months of age spontaneously pitched in to help with a variety of household chores.
Listen Actively Instead of Passively Active listening is one of the main factors in empathetic parenting. You have to hear what your teen feels and thinks to empathize with them. If you’re passively listening, they may open up about their emotionally vulnerable state while you’re thinking about things you need to do later that day or reasons why they shouldn’t feel that way at all.
Staying focused on your teen’s words and their meaning also helps you. Active listening is another way to inform yourself about your perspective when it comes to your emotional well-being. You might connect with your teen about a feeling you didn’t realize you shared. It could positively change your perspective on your teen’s identity or relationship with you.
Inheriting empathy. There’s some good news for parents hoping to raise more empathetic kids.A study found that when mothers show empathy to their kids, those kids tend to show more empathy toward their friends during their teen years. Later, as adults, they often show empathy toward their own children, fostering empathy in the next generation. So how can parents model this trait?
The study points to a handful of key skills parents can employ with their kids: being present and attentive, reflecting back their feelings, acknowledging their challenges and helping them work through them, recognizing their distress and offering understanding and warmth.
Empathy is an essential life skill that helps children understand and connect with the feelings of others. Developing empathy enhances children’s relationships with friends and family and fosters kindness, patience, and a deeper understanding of the world.
From the playground to family interactions, encouraging empathy can significantly improve children’s relationships with others and their well-being. Here are seven simple and effective ways to nurture empathy in your child.
A follow-up study found that empathy among American youth has been increasing in recent years, approaching levels seen in the 1970s.
Experts attribute the rise to factors such as increased awareness of global challenges and the growing emphasis on mental health education and support.
Actively listening to others and imagining yourself in someone else’s shoes are among some expert-backed tips for building empathy.
A recent study found that empathy among young Americans has been increasing since 2008, approaching levels seen in the 1970s.
For the study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, researchers examined perspective-taking and empathic concern among American high school seniors and college students from 1979 to 2018.1
Empathy is the ability to understand and accept how someone else feels regardless of your own feelings. Perspective-taking, on the other hand, means having the ability to experience the situation and feelings through another person’s point of view.
Ed Kirwan, a former science teacher and the founder of Empathy Studios, advocates that kindness should be added to the school curriculum. After promising results from his video-led course teaching empathy over ten weeks to pupils aged 5 to 18, he states that empathy can be taught — and that increasing the emotional literacy of children could decrease social unrest in the long term.
He follows the precedent of Denmark, which teaches empathy in schools to children from pre-school up to the age of 16. This is based on neurological research that says we thrive when we know how to co-operate and build relationships with others, for which empathy is a core skill.
New research found that teens who have more empathetic parents tend to be more empathetic themselves.
When parents respond to distress in a supportive, empathetic way, it gives children a model for empathy.
Parents can model empathy by recognizing distress, helping children name their feelings, and showing warmth.

Empathetic children aged 7-9 show poorer health and higher inflammation levels when exposed to interparental conflict. The research highlights the physiological impact of empathy in stressful home environments. The findings suggest a need for educational programs to help empathetic children set boundaries. This could improve their long-term health outcomes.
Key Facts:
Health Impact: Empathetic children exposed to parental conflict have higher inflammation levels.
Study Details: Involved 106 children aged 7-9, assessing empathy, conflict perception, and health.
Educational Implications: Suggests teaching empathetic children to set boundaries for better health.
Empathy is a skill we can practice and get better at. It means imagining how someone else feels and responding in a caring way. As picture book author Anna Dewdney put it, “Empathy is an understanding that other people have feelings, and that those feelings count.” Practicing empathy helps us learn how to engage with the people around us while building social problem solving skills.
When kids take care of living things, such as babies, animals, or plants, they are developing their empathy skills. Empathy is a key skill for many careers where people care for living things. Dog walkers, nurses, park rangers, teachers, and others all need to have strong empathy skills as they take care of living things. Playing pretend, caring for a family member, and listening to friends are ways kids can practice empathy. And these activities can help them explore their interests — or find new ways to help others throughout their lives.

Muchas veces nos empeñamos en formar a nuestro alumnado en muchas materias con millones de datos a memorizar y dejamos atrás algo tan humano y necesario como la empatía, la compasión y la amabilidad. Yo como docente de secundaria, y aunque el artículo se centre en las edades tempranas, insisto en trabajar estos conceptos muy especialmente en etapas tan complicadas como la adolescencia en la que tan necesaria es esa empatía que tantos conflictos y abusos ahorraría. En esta sociedad tan hostil que estamos generando, la formación en este tipo de cuestiones me parece obligatoria. Y recordemos la última frase del artículo: Remember, empathy leads to compassion which leads to acts of kindness.

The seven-and-a-half-month-old is one of about 180 newborns whose parents have signed them up to volunteer with Roots of Empathy in 2023-24.
Summary: A new study links early parental bonding with children’s future prosocial behavior, exhibiting kindness and empathy. Utilizing data from over 10,000 people born from 2000-2002, the study illustrates the long-term interplay of early relationships, mental health, and prosociality.
Those experiencing warm parental relationships at age three displayed not only increased prosocial tendencies but also fewer mental health issues during childhood and adolescence. A contrasting correlation was observed in children with strained early parental relationships, often showcasing less development of prosocial habits over time.
