[QUOTE="Shari, post: 434073, member: 1848"] I think its a great idea. As for just going thru the motions vs truly learning empathy, well....they say it takes 21 days of repetition to form a "new" habit. If it works, and that's all it ever is, well, that's better than nothing. If somewhere along the way, a few tidbits of true empathy sink in, well, even better. Some people learn social skills simply to fit within societal norms. While give and take conversation for you and I is rewarding, for someone else, it may never be something they really enjoy. Yet in order to "fit in", its a skill that most folks really do need to know. I can't wait to hear how this goes. I'm sure it will take some tweaking, but it just might be the start of brilliance!
