Schools in Cranbrook as in many other places recognize the importance of empathy to both an individual and social group’s well being. The Roots of Empathy Program is widely taught to young children in many schools. Our ability to put ourselves in another’s shoes is the basis of forming healthy relationships no matter the size of the social group. According to the research demonstrated in this video we are pre-programmed for this skill. There may be many factors that influence how well we exhibit empathic behaviour but there is no doubt we all benefit when it is used.
As we move towards 2011 and some of of us make some sort of resolution maybe this video can provide some food for thought.
