In this era of political strife, it's clear how important it is that kids learn empathy at an early age. Lynne Azarchi has taught empathy to children through her organization, Kidsbridge, for more than 18 years. She is also the author of The Empathy Advantage: Coaching Children to be Kind, Respectful, and Successful. In this episode, she shares advice for parents, educators, and anyone who loves a kid on how to help them to be empathetic, compassionate, and supportive of those who are different from them.
