Adding Empathy To Our Anti-Bullying Program October 3, 2013
What is empathy? • Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes Empathy is like a muscle; it gets stronger and stronger with practice! You already have it; you just need to use it!
What does empathy look like? • 5 steps to build your empathy muscle: • Watch & Listen: What is the other person saying and what is his or her body language? • Remember: When did you feel the same way? • Imagine: How do you think the other person feels and how do you think you would feel in that situation? • Ask: Ask the other person what he or she is feeling. • Show you care: Let the other person know that you care through your words and actions.
Discussion Break Out Groups How can we use empathy? WHEN? WHERE? HOW? • When and where can we use empathy? • Lunch • Hallway • Classroom
