One of the things you hear all the time nowadays is that our world needs more empathy. So teaching kids to be empathetic is an important task for parents and teachers. As those entrusted with raising the next generation, it’s our job to teach them how to be good human beings. Little Bookworm is a very empathetic kid. She is the first to run to help someone in need, and she often takes it upon herself to defend those who are being picked on. So I wanted to share how to use children’s books to teach empathy, and how we have made it part of our daily conversations.
