PurposeFull Pursuit:

Review Empathy as a family! Remember that Empathy is understanding and connecting with other people’s feelings. Schedule a family movie night so that you can specifically watch for feelings and emotions. Let everyone know that you’d like them to point out how the characters in the show are feeling and that you will pause periodically to discuss Empathy. As emotions are identified, invite one another to Empathize by sharing about a time they felt that way or imagining how they might be feeling in that moment.

Conversation Starters:

• How do you know if something you did was Kind or unkind?

• Can you share a time this week when you did not practice Kindness? How could you have made a different choice?
