Focus: Understanding others' perspectives.
The Empathy Express invites children on a journey to explore and understand the feelings and perspectives of others, a key step in resolving conflicts. Just like a train connects different places, this activity helps children connect with different viewpoints. By teaching kids to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, the Empathy Express fosters compassion and encourages thoughtful communication. Understanding others’ emotions and experiences enables children to address disagreements with kindness and fairness, creating a foundation for stronger, more meaningful relationships. Deutsch, M.
