Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.11 – Building Empathy Through Active Listening: Active listening is the bridge that turns hearing into understanding. It requires setting aside distractions, meeting your child’s eyes, and responding with genuine curiosity. When you nod, paraphrase, or say “That sounds tough,” you validate emotion rather than analyze it. This small shift transforms conversations into shared experiences. Children learn empathy by being empathized with first; your listening becomes their blueprint for compassion. Active listening quiets defensiveness and invites vulnerability, showing that feelings are safe to express. It teaches perspective—how to view problems through someone else’s lens. Over time, empathy built through listening reduces conflict and builds cooperation. It makes your home feel less like a battlefield and more like a partnership. The more you listen to understand instead of reply, the more you teach the heart of emotional intelligence.
