Empathy is the ability to sense other people's emotions and to understand another person's thoughts and feelings from their point of view rather than our own. Empathy is a building block of successful relationships and of morality as it allows us to "walk in someone else's shoes" and helps us to understand the perspectives, needs and intentions of others.

Learn more about empathy, why to practice it and how to cultivate it from this article from the Greater Good Science Center https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/topic/empathy/definition

⭐️SEPTEMBER TIP-OF-THE-MONTH⭐️

This month we are focusing on belonging - the feeling of being accepted, valued and connected to others. It’s a deep sense of being seen, heard and appreciated for who we are, both at home and in the world.

Creating a sense of belonging is key to building a supportive environment, whether for children or others in a group. Feeling accepted and valued helps individuals grow, connect, and contribute more fully. Children and teens who feel they belong have higher self-esteem, succeed academically and socially, feel more secure and confident, and build stronger relationships with others.

When children and teens feel disconnected or excluded, they can experience stress, anxiety and even isolation. Belonging is not just an emotional need; it’s a foundation for healthy development.

Check out these tips for building belonging in your family and helping your kids build belonging with others this month. Learn more at https://bit.ly/468344m

In our busy, fast-paced, stressful world, learning to practice self-care is critical for both your physical and mental health.

Self-care has been clinically proven to reduce or eliminate anxiety, depression and stress. It improves energy and concentration, minimizes frustration and anger, increases happiness and more.

To help you get started, download and print the BStrong Together Self-Care September Calendar 2026 for Adults. It's also important to model these healthy behaviors and attitudes with your children - especially your teens and tweens.
