All about Empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand how another person feels by imagining what it would be like to be in their shoes. It helps you respond with kindness and support, even if you have not had the same experience.
You can show empathy by listening, paying attention to body language, asking how someone feels and saying something like "That sounds really hard." Empathy helps build strong friendships and makes communities more caring.
