093. We not me, featuring Michele Borba

PG-ish - A podcast by Erin Holland - Tuesdays

Let’s talk about empathy. I feel like I used to be more empathetic, before life got so busy and complicated. And today’s children, growing up in the age of selfies and immediate gratification, are showing a rapid decrease in levels of empathy. But why is empathy so important for our future, and how do we nurture it in our kids? Listen to today’s clip with educational psychologist Michele Borba to better understand empathy and the three best ideas to cultivate it in ourselves and in our homes.  Click here to view the whole talk, and for more info on Michele Borba, visit her website. You can also find her book, UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World, at https://amzn.to/3iKEqfK. I'd love to know what you think, so join in on the conversation!
