UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World

By Michele Borba, Ed.D.

This book is full of practical suggestions for parents, teachers, and really just about anybody to increase empathy in our kids. One suggestion is family meetings and establishing a family mantra or Mission Statement. Another suggestion is to actually have students step into another person’s shoes (a firefighter’s boots, for example) and notice what it feels like to be that person. Dr. Borba offers additional books and movies to support empathy development.
