Empathy(同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy？—Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings；criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names(for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
John White, a typical teenage boy, is keen on hiking and photography. He also lives in a large zoo.
John, the son of the late "Crocodile Hunter" star Steve White, is now taking center stage in "Crikey! It's the Whites, "a new series on Animal Planet. "We've worked on quite a few different TV projects, but this is actually the first time my whole family has come back to Animal Planet together, so it's pretty unusual, " says John. Premiering(首映)at 8 p. m. on Sunday, "Crikey！" follows the Whites as they run the 100-acre Australia Zoo, founded by Steve White's parents. Steve owned and ran the zoo before he died in 2006. "We've always grown up in front of a camera. Bindi, my sister, and I were both filmed for some of the original ‘Crocodile Hunter' documentaries(纪录片), " says John.
"I'm very lucky in the way that I've had so much of my life captured(拍摄)on camera, so as the memories you have of Dad start to fade, you can always look back at the old footage(镜头)and relive those special moments, " he says.
"Crikey! It's the Whites" has some footage of Steve. The most exciting part of the premiere involves John leading the "Croc Show" at the zoo's "Crocoseum", a 5,500-seat stadium Steve built to give crocodile performances and educate visitors about crocodile behavior.
Of course, running a zoo doesn't leave much time for school, so John participates in Distance Education, a program similar to homeschooling. "School can be difficult for me to fit in, " he says. "But I've actually got a classroom that's set up at Australia Zoo and a teacher that travels with us wherever we go, so I can fit in all of my studies. " John continues, "I'm learning as much as I can about all of the animals and all of the work at Australia Zoo. I feel really honored to be following in Dad's footsteps. I love continuing that work. "
