Description
We've Got This! Six Steps to Build your Empathy Superpower, written by Rashmi Sirdeshpande in partnership with EmpathyLab, is the essential empathy handbook for young readers.
In just SIX simple steps readers will be taught how to harness empathy as theirhuman SUPERPOWER, and discover how using this power can change their lives and the world around them for the better.
The emotional well-being of children is just as important as their physical health but it's not something that all children are taught about or are offered support for. Harnessing empathy and growing their emotional intelligence allows children and young people to develop the resilience to cope with life's ups and downs as well as understand and experience other people's emotions, feelings and points of view.
This essential handbook, created in collaboration with EmpathyLab, the UK's leading empathy research organisation, includes:
- Digestible steps that teach children about empathy in a fun and exciting way
- Case studies that children can relate to and learn from
- Empathy exercises and activities to improve understanding of empathy
- Quotes, advice and support from renowned authors
Empathy is our human SUPERPOWER! We've Got This! Six Steps to Build your Empathy Superpower, gives children the tools, confidence and knowledge to harness this very special power.
About the Author
Rashmi Sirdeshpande is an award-winning children's author who writes a happy mix of fiction and non-fiction. She was an official World Book Day author for 2022. She loves taking big ideas and making them accessible and exciting for young readers. When she's not playing with words, you'll find her on her yoga mat twisting herself into all sort of shapes.
EmpathyLab is the first organisation to build children's empathy, literacy and social activism through a systematic use of high-quality literature. Their strategy builds on new scientific evidence showing the power of reading to build real-life empathy skills. They believe that empathy is a beacon of hope in a divided world.
When EmpathyLab was founded in 2014, it set out to understand whether society was making the most of this link, and to explore the implications of the research. Work started with a large cross-disciplinary Think-In at the South Bank Centre, and quickly uncovered that educationalists, academics and authors were as keen as EmpathyLab's founders to see if stories could be used more deliberately to develop young people's experience of empathy and their ability to put it into action.
