[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 17568, member: 805"] Allen, it can all be summarized in a little short story. Many years ago, when my easy child was a toddler, I met a wonderful woman who changed my life for the better. But, that's another story, not so short. Anyway, she told me that one of the most important things you could do for your child was to teach them empathy for others. If you succeeded in that, everhthing else falls behind in place. easy child and her friend are playing together, there is only one cookie. I witness easy child breaking the cookie in half and sharing with her friend. Rather than praise her for "what a good girl you are sharing your cookie" which puts the focus on her, I say "look at that smile on Salley's face, that really made her happy." The connection begins between their actions and others feelings. Very simple to do, they catch on remarkably quick. Sharon [/QUOTE]
