raising empathetic children

Are empaths born or made? The simple answer is they are both. 

As humans, it is natural to yearn for respect, compassion, justice, honesty and all other things which give us a sense of validation, but when it comes to giving, we do not realize how stingy we stand out to be.

There has been a lot written about empathy lately. Perhaps because we see so little of it generally and instead see an overwhelming amount of evidence that it is severely lacking in our nation and daily life.
