Our 3 favorite takeaways:
Gateway to empathy and compassion
Your child’s inner world includes many things-their feelings, memories, longings, perceptions, thoughts, hopes, dreams, etc.-and it’s their gateway to developing empathy and compassion.
Empathy vs. Compassion
Empathy will help your child feel another person’s feelings and imagine their point of view. Compassion is developed when a child understands that another is suffering and starts considering how to help them.
Two things you can do
Talk to a child about their feelings.
Create a story with your child about their experiences and how they felt.

Thanks for sharing this. I have been using Daniel Seigel’s approach to parenting with my three year old. It has been enjoyable and eye opening to watch my son’s internal insight develop even at his young age. Keep up the great work!

That's great, Ryan. What an advantage to start parenting this way when your kids are young, right? It is fascinating how quickly they learn.
