GOOD MANNERS AND


RIGHT CONDUCT
Developing Concerns for Others

Empathy – is at the heart of what it means to be HUMAN. The


concept of empathy is used to refer to a wide range of
psychological capacities that are thought of as being
central for constituting humans as social creatures
allowing us to know what other people are thinking and
feeling, to engage with them emotionally, to share their
thoughts and feelings and to care for their well-being.
Three Kinds of Empathy:
1. Cognitive Empathy – this is simply knowing how the other person
feels and what they might be thinking. Sometimes called perspective-
taking, this kind of empathy can help in, say, a negotiation or in
motivating people.
2. Emotional Empathy – this happens when the person feels physically
along with the other person, as though their emotions were contagious.
3. Compassionate Empathy – with this kind of empathy we not only
understand a person’s predicament and feel with them, but are
spontaneously moved to help, if needed.
Parents Raising Children with Empathy Guidepost
1. Empathize with your child and model empathy for others.
 Children learn empathy both from watching us and from experiencing our
empathy for them.
2. Make caring for others a priority and set high ethical expectations.
 If children are to value others’ perspectives and show compassion for
them, it’s very important that they hear from their parents that caring about
others is a top priority.
3. Provide opportunities for children to practice empathy.
 Children are born with the capacity for empathy, but it needs to be
nurtured throughout their lives.

4. Expand your child’s circle of concern.
 As parents and caretakers, it’s not only important that we model
appreciation. It’s important that we guide children in understanding and
caring for many kinds of people who are different from them and who
maybe facing challenges very different from their own challenges.
5. Help children develop self-control and manage feelings effectively.
 Helping children manage negative feelings as well as stereotypes and
prejudices about others is often what “releases” their empathy.
Five Essential Steps to use in Schools
1. Model Empathy – It all starts with the teacher. When frustrated with
learners, pause and take a deep breath and try to see the situation from their
perspective before responding.
2. Teach what empathy is and why it matters – Clearly and concretely
explain that empathy means understanding and caring about another person’s
feelings and taking action to help.
3. Practice – Create opportunities to practice taking another’s perspective and
imagining what others are thinking.

4. Set clear expectations – Be clear that you expect students to care about one
another and the entire school community.
5. Makes school culture and climate a priority – Make an annual survey of
leaners’ and teachers’ feelings whether they feel safe, respected, and cared
abut at school. Take time to examine the data and make efforts to address
problem areas identified by the leaners and staff.
