Empathic listening is sometimes called active or reflective listening. It is a technique of listening and communicating to another person in a manner that enhances mutual understanding. It is a skill that is useful for disputants as it clears the air of misunderstandings and provides an environment where the people can discuss without conflicts. (image bit.ly/fBlDSg)

A recent research published in the Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging suggests that individuals who meditate benefit from the changes experienced by the brain.
Specifically, the study says that people who meditate for a duration of around 30 minutes in a single day for eight weeks had measurable modifications in the gray-matter density in the brain. These gray areas are linked with sense of self, empathy and stress as well as memory.

3. Use empathy. If one spouse is getting the worst of it, empathy can help diffuse some tension. If Mr. Bickerson is telling an embarrassing story about his wife backing her car into a telephone pole, take the sting out of it by sharing your own story. "You know, I did something just like that one time. I felt pretty silly, but things like that can happen to anyone."

We seem to think empathy is something that emerges naturally. But what if empathy became part of the curriculum?
Getting children to understand the feelings of others is not an easy task, but it’s an important one. In my eyes, it’s actually THE most important one. Understanding how other people feel makes it easier to live a compassionate and conscientious life. Being a good person is certainly possible without that piece, but if you can’t relate to other people’s feelings, it’s a lot harder to know how not to hurt them. Here in the U.S., we seem to think empathy is something that emerges naturally.

Learning to feel for other people and the problems they face daily is something that cannot be taught solely from textbooks and classroom lectures.
So, Capital University asked six of its students to participate in an interactive eight-week program called the Empathy Experiment. The six students—four women and two men—focused on becoming more aware of the challenges facing the working poor in Central Ohio.

So what is empathetic listening? It is considerably different to just plain old listening. Many of us routinely listen halfheartedly, or attempt to multi-talk, using the odd grunt to show our attention. We can view listening as a pause to gather our thoughts, and formulate the next crafted reply – this might be better described as pathetic listening. Empathetic listening is when we give our full, non-judgemental attention to the speaker, with their best interests in mind.

Show empathy: This means tuning in to your child's feelings and letting him know you understand. If your child is sad or upset, a gentle touch or hug may let him know that you understand those sad or bad feelings. Do not tell your child what he thinks or feels. Let him express those feelings. And be sure not to minimize these feelings by saying things like, "It's silly to feel that way," or "You'll understand when you get older." His feelings are real to him and should be respected.

TEDxGoldenGateED will take place on June 11, 2011 from 1pm to 9pm at the soaring and historic Craneway Pavilion. Join us to hear from a incredibly diverse field of speakers about what science tells us about compassion and empathy, and see how compassion improves learning. You will also meet people who teach compassion explicitly, and others whose creative and vital work is deeply informed by it.
Are we entering into an era of compassion? In today’s schools, the ability to imagine the needs of others, to think compassionately, and to design, innovate, and act in ways that benefit others are true 21st century skills. Compassion is a new science of the brain, of human health, and of sustainability. It is the greatest privilege we are granted, to teach compassion.

Empathy is the ability to imagine how someone else is feeling in a particular situation and respond with care. This is a very complex skill to develop but it is an important building block in your child’s social development.
What you can do: Empathize with your child: “Are you feeling scared of that dog? He is a nice dog but he is barking really loud. That can be scary.” Talk about others’ feelings. “Kayla is feeling sad because you took her toy car. Please give Kayla back her car and then you choose another.”

Effective listening skills can help a person who is suffering
from deep emotional wounds, or involved in a serious interpersonal conflict, to vent. Empathic listening skills require a different subset of proficiencies than conversing, and it is certainly an acquired skill. Many individuals, at first, find the process somewhat uncomfortable.

You can create the antidote to the epidemic of bullying!
.. you focus a laser-like intensity on nurturing empathy in your own child. Empathy is the ability to feel compassion for another human being, the ability to know what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes. And it goes hand-in-hand with other anti-bully qualities like kindness and a willingness to help those in need. Without empathy our world would be chock full of people who cared only about themselves and who turned a blind eye on the suffering of others. A lack of empathy is one of the hallmarks of sociopaths and most likely missing in most bullies as well.

Expanding your empathy might offer just what you are looking for. Empathising is an avant-garde form of travel in which you step into the shoes of another person and see the world from their perspective. It is the ultimate adventure holiday – far more challenging than a bungee jump off Victoria Falls or trekking solo across the Gobi desert.

According to the experts, empathy is an ability that is partially inborn and partially developed. Nobody gets off the hook. So like kids who struggle with reading, kids who struggle with empathy need some extra tutoring. Research shows that, to improve these skills, first children need to know they have emotional safety at home. We feel pretty good about that one. Empathy needs to be modeled by the caregivers. OK, that happens fairly often. Then they need to get some skills. Suggestions for this include...

4. Be a mirror. Reflect with empathy what you notice your children are feeling and what you hear them saying. Active listening helps kids of all ages cope with their emotions. They often get frustrated, especially if they can’t express themselves as well as they would like. When you repeat back to them what you think they’re feeling, it helps to relieve some of that frustration. It also makes them feel respected and comforted

Over the years, I have handled these disputes using a combination of different strategies, including "letting them work it out", "teaching them effective communication skills (ha!)", "separating them", "giving each of them empathy," "mediating," "refereeing", "problem-solving" and "punishing."
None of these have been as effective, efficient, and satisfying to me (or to them!) as the method described below, which I have freely adopted from Dominic Barter's Restorative Circles model (and lovingly named "micro-circles").

Why empathy for the bully can stop bullying behavior even when punishment cannot. It’s easy to feel empathy for a victim of bullying. Shared outrage, confusion, frustration, and even a mutual sense of helplessness come naturally to most who listen to a child describe being taunted, teased, humiliated, or physically assaulted by a bully.
It’s far more difficult to be empathic toward the one doing the bullying. In our society, even the word “bully” conjures feelings of disdain and disgust.

Gordon says emotional literacy — visually recognizing what someone else is feeling — can’t be taught in the typical sense of the word.
"You can’t put empathy up on the board or on flashcards and hope it develops," she said. Leaders at Roots of Empathy work to create conditions under which empathy naturally arises and, to do that, they call upon an unusual teacher: A baby.

Children who lack empathy can benefit from concrete experiences where they are allowed to practice the skills necessary to be an empathetic individual. According to Gwen Dewar of Parenting Science, empathy is a skill or response that includes the ability to listen and relate to another person's feelings. Empathy is important for a child's outlook on life and interactions with others.
