Empathy: Making an effort to understand how someone feels, even if you have not been in that same situation. Putting yourself in someone else's shoes.
3 Steps for showing empathy:
LOOK
THINK
CARE
Look at the other person.
How are they feeling?
What is their body language?
Think about a time that you felt that way.
How would you want someone to treat you?
Show them you care!
Is there anything you can do to help?
Scenarios you can practice:
-You see a girl in the bathroom that you don’t know, and she is crying.
-Your friend was excited to invite you to their party until you told them that you cannot attend.
-Your sibling just got great news and wants to share it with you, but you are busy.
-Your friend is sad and angry because they are being bullied in school.
