Why is empathy education so important? Empathy is a learned behavior that must be actively nurtured and encouraged. Investing in the development of our children’s empathy skills is a precious gift. Empathy is essential for a successful future: it gives children a greater sense of security and self-confidence, helps them forge healthy and fulfilling relationships, and promotes good mental health.
