The lesson “Development of Empathy” teaches children about the importance of respecting others and treating them with kindness, compassion, and grace, based on developing Godly character. Through group discussion and fun activity, each child will explain how others may have different feelings or reactions to situations than he or she does. The children will develop skills to identify and perceive how another person feels about a situation, and express those same feelings the other is experiencing though “empathy”. Each child will begin to understand that empathy is an important and positive part of developing healthy relationships and interactions in life. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 43nd lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
