For parents
Empathy starts with noticing. These stories slow down on other characters' faces and feelings so your child can practise reading them. Afterwards, point out one kind thing you noticed your child do — noticed kindness repeats itself.
These are stories, not therapy. If you ever have a worry about your child’s wellbeing, your health visitor, GP or school are the right next step.
Chat about it afterwards
- How do you think that character was feeling?
- How could you tell?
- What kind thing did somebody do in the story?
- What is a kind thing someone did for you today?
- What kind thing shall we do for someone tomorrow?
