Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 353: Ginger Whitson on Bullying — What it Looks Like, How to Handle It, and How to Protect Our Kids from Being Targets · 12 Dec 2023 podcast

I'm a strong believer that empathy and compassion for for some kids they come completely naturally.

For other kids, it is a skill that has to be taught and has to be practiced.

But I don't think it's an either-or when I hear people say, you know, that kid has no empathy, I think, yet.

But that's absolutely a skill that we can cultivate and develop, and we have to cultivate and develop that skill.

We're all in a whole lot of trouble if kids can't empathize with other people and don't have the ability to put themselves in other people's shoes.

Shoes.

I think there's a million opportunities out there for parents with kids.

Talk about a character that's in a book, you know, just make up conversations.

How might that character feel if?

Or how do you think that character was feeling when that person said that?

You can do it with characters in a book, movies, TV, I mean

goodness knows our kids do you have a lot of screen time.

We could fight it or we can watch some of the things with them and use those as opportunities to just always have this dialogue of how do you think that person felt when this happened?

And I think we just make that

Part of our everyday dialogue with kids, always drawing their brains to consider different people's perspectives and and the impact that people have on each other.

Sure.

My website is probably the best place to start.

It's www.signawitson.com, which is a mouthful.

Maybe you'll have that somewhere for people to see.
