....“Researchers report a 30 percent increase in narcissism and 40 percent lower empathy in incoming college freshmen at the University of San Diego,” Toni Schutta said.
She defined empathy as the critical emotional ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes to understand their feelings and situations. In addition, she said children may understand it as having sympathy for people when they experience misfortune.....
....She said emotion coach parents give guidance in the world of emotion,
teach strategies to live with life’s ups and downs, don’t object to
anger, fear and sadness; don’t ignore feelings, accept emotions as a
fact of life, see emotions as opportunities to get closer, build bridges
of loyalty and affection and ask children for problem solving ideas......
Bethany`s Notes: How are you helping athletes increase empathy? Are they capable of working through the ups and downs in sports and in life? As a coach or parent you play a critical role in helping a student development empathy and a growth mindset. Are you praising effort or outcome? Results or the journey of the process?
