Parents can start the exercise empathy in children ages 1-3 to teach it to understand the feelings of others, this trick through six.
1. Introduce a variety of feelings.
Empathy is sharing. Comfort the sad, to share happiness, help people who are grieving, and so on. The problem is, let alone sharing it with others, to understand and define her feelings she may not be able to. Therefore, the first step we can do is introduce her feelings, both feeling happy, sad, jealous, angry, and others.
Try to define the feeling, "You sad yes because she wants to be left bekera Mama?" After that try to entertain the children, "I hope you are not sad, before leaving for work, we play for now."
In this way, besides giving a definition of feeling sad, parents try to meet the needs of children. The same thing a parent can do when a child is angry, happy, and others. That way, the child is expected to know the various feelings experienced. When it is mastered, children learn someday understand the feelings of others, as well as how to react appropriately to the feelings.
Without introduced a variety of feelings, the child is difficult to understand or respect for others, let alone empathize. Because, once again, empathy is basically feeling understood.
2. Loving creatures.
The introduction of other concrete is to get children loving creatures. When there are chicks got splashed in for example, tell your child, "Son, sorry got the chicken go, let's please". Let your child see your business and help dry the sodden Atam body with lap and feed him.
If the cats in the house, you can involve the children in their care. Choose activities to do baby, feeding, petting, prohibits hurt, and others. This activity contains the values of empathy. If the sick cat, you can encourage your child to take the cat to the doctor, so he knows that cats also need to be considered healthy.
The same thing can be done while maintaining the plant. Involve children when watering or planting. Explain, "Like us, plants also need to eat and drink so it should be watered and fertilized". You can also teach that children do not damage the crop, "If you unplug it, the plant will die, pity is not it?"
3. Give an example.
Children ages 1-3 learn from the examples seen in everyday life, which is important for parents to be role models for children. When I got home late because of traffic, tell your child, "I'm sorry Mama come home late, you had to wait a long time". When asking for something to get used starting with the word "please" and end with the word "thank you". Through such means of communication, the child will be conditioned to always appreciate positive values.
4. Read a story book.
The story is one effective medium to introduce empathy. The story of the seven dwarves who work together to help Snow White or Garlic kosah are so respectful and loving mother, can stimulate the ability of empathy.
Choose age-appropriate story books, so children easily digest. For example, the book is dominated by images with a little text because children this age are very pleased to see the picture. Provide appropriate intonation when told.
5. Play a role.
You can also train the children empathy through role playing. Make a small-time scenarios, and define their respective roles. Your role as a doctor and as a child pasien.Dokter check and give the drug to the patient. Show the seriousness of the moment play, so that children see parents sincerity. Then try to switch roles, you become a patient and a doctor's child, so the child can feel both roles. You can also play other roles, such as selling food, playing with dolls, adventure in which there is an element of mutual help, so that children can increase empathy.
6. Invite to an orphanage.
Every now and then, take the kids to the place where many children are not as lucky as him. To the orphanage or nursing home for example. Encourage children to contribute, for example by bringing cash or a small object that is easy to carry. Describe your interests come to the venue. "We have to help them, because they are not as fortunate as us. Come give them clothes or toys."
