1. Parents give an example of empathy for children

Parents are the first place children learn everything, because it's when parents are rude or don't think about other people's feelings, children tend to imitate them.

Therefore, in order to instill a good attitude in children, parents must set a good example. Show attitude to care for others, or even discuss these concerns with children, so that he can be actively involved, not just being a passive observer of your behavior.

2. Thank you

Simple teaching to thank someone when given something, can also educate children to be empathetic. He will be grateful for every little thing he receives from others.

Besides being polite, saying thank you can also make other people feel valued. Embed this thing on the child from an early age, so that he knows the importance of thanking for everything he receives in this world.

3. Be a consistent parent

As Parents, we always say what is good and not good for children. But often we forget, that children also see our behavior as a benchmark for what is good and not good.

If you teach your child to weigh every word so as not to offend others, of course as a parent you must also give that example. So that the child does not become confused when he sees his parents do not apply the attitude taught to him.

4. Helping Children understand emotional vocabulary

Small children do not have a lot of vocabulary on what they feel, help your child to name the various emotions he has, to make it easier for children to understand their own feelings. The child certainly does not have the opportunity to develop feelings of empathy when he himself is confused with his own feelings. Help from parents will certainly help the child overcome this problem.

5. Always be grateful and praise the work of others

Teach children to always praise the work of others, and be grateful every day. For example, praising mother's food during meals, praising the father who came home from work on time to be able to eat together. Apply the Schedule for the time to praise this. And let the child think for himself what he wants to be grateful for and who he wants to praise. This will make children think for themselves.

6. Recognize Goodness

When a child does good, it's good to praise him and say that it's a good thing. Like when a child helps pick up a friend's fallen book,

or share toys and food while gathering with friends. This will make the child think that what he is doing is good and approved by parents.
