TEACHING CHILDREN EMPATHY – PARENTS STORY-TIME!
- WED, JAN 22 – FEB 26 6:00 – 8:00 PM
LOCATION: James Bay Community School Centre, 140 Oswego Street
Learn tools to teach your children to hear what is meaningful for you as parents. Learning can be fun and not through discipline, punishment and reward if your model of parenting includes ongoing techniques for sharing what you value. If you children hear you through fun, play and story time what is important for you they will carry this into their later years when they are becoming more social and less parent centered. Come and learn it is what you do and how you do it!
- REGISTRATION: 250-389-1470 – 6/$70

“When Mommy and Daddy fight”
Imagine your child/ren watching and hearing you and your partner disagree. Conflict between two people is normal and natural. Rather than beat yourself up and either guilt talk your child or ignore them, what if you talk empathy? Yes!, accept responsibility for having feelings that sometimes come out in a way you don’t like! Example:
______________________________________________________
(Name), last night Daddy and I used our loud voices when we disagreed about
cleaning the kitchen after dinner. I regret (or I am sorry for) getting angry at
daddy in front of you. I was needing some space by myself to settle and rest
and was feeling frustrated and rushed.
I imagine it’s scary for you to hear daddy and I raise our voices and show you our big feelings. Is that right? _________(answer)_______________. I bet you need us to be kinder and more considerate (age appropriate words). Is that
want you would like? __________(encourage talking).
I would like that too. Sometimes just like you, I get big feelings and they
come out before I can catch them. How about we make a deal (or I make an agreement with you), that if daddy and I use our loud (big) voices when we are feeling frustrated, that when I feel calmer I will come and check in with you to talk about how this was for you? Would you like this?

Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: Depth of Pain
The more broken the wider the gap between being the giver of empathy and receiving empathy. The deeper the pain the more confusing to others.

Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: Broken Families
When your own family is broken your conflict and pain creates a wisdom unknown to those in families remaining a whole family whether a child or parent. The depth of your empathy and wisdom deepens with separation experiences beyond those who remain but looking in through the window.

Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: understanding your parents
When you nurture your own children, empathy for your parents deepens and you transition from child to parent.
Not living with the responsibility of children you likely remain the child and wisdom from the integration cycle, past and future, is interrupted. Knowing is learned and not lived. Missing is the joy and pain of parenting and a shared reality with your parents. Healing the child within comes easier with a child of ones own through the dawning of understanding and acceptance.
