Quotes to ponder:
"Children of empathetic parents are better able to manage their own difficult emotions, can soothe themselves, and get angry less often."
"When parents listen and empathize, it does not mean that they are condoning negative behavior."
"It is important to remember that empathy does not mean that you agree with what your child is telling you."
