Chris was in a great mood today. He told me about his great weekend and plans for this week. Our topic of discussion was Empathy. He looked up the definition of empathy and tried to explain what it meant to me in his own words. He was able to grasp the concept but didn’t understand the importance. We went through many scenarios in which we could use skills of empathy in real life. Chris demonstrated difficulty relating to the scenarios unless that included adults or peers that he cares for. This topic will be continued on Wednesday.
