Last week, I shared some ways to build empathy with our children (and ourselves). Active listening and perspective taking (seeing a situation from another’s eyes) are great places to start.
Another way to build this skill is by openly discussing similarities and differences. We had a conversation at my house just this week about morning routines in different households. When one child made a comment about how we should skip Mindful Morning, get straight to work, and get out of school earlier, I was less than thrilled. I could have reacted immediately. We’ve committed a lot of time, heart, and energy to our GES students starting the school days with mindfulness and connection because we believe it’s what we need. Instead of yelling at her, telling her she doesn’t make the decisions, she’s not in charge, she’s being disrespectful, or the many other initial thoughts I had, we paused to think and talk.
“What do our mornings look like at home usually? What do you do at Mindful Morning time? Why is it good for kids? Not why do you like it, but why is it helpful?“
Our kids only know what they’ve experienced. They are kids. Unless they are living it, they do not understand that there is a big world outside their door, even in Germantown, with many different circumstances that make life different for other people.
“Did you know that some kids are getting themselves ready and out the door in the morning? Some parents have to be at work and don’t get to be home with their kids. You know how sometimes when we all sleep in just a little bit and then we’re rushing. That often leads to chaos, yelling, and tears. How does that affect your day at school? How does that affect your brain, body, and heart? Some kids start every day like that.”
Because of this conversation, we were able to turn a seemingly snarky remark into a learning experience that helped build empathy and understanding for others.
