Social awareness is the ability to empathize with and understand the perspective of someone else, even though their background and culture might be different from yours. It's important in understanding the viewpoint of another person's feelings, intentions, thoughts, or view of a particular situation. With Safe Families we value social awareness to increase healthy understanding in diverse families and cultures.
Here are some ways adults can support kids to practice social awareness, perspective-taking, and empathy at home:
1. Read books with your kids and talk about how the characters are feeling and reacting. Identify the emotions and then talk about why the character feels that way or how you know.
2. Talk about your own emotions with your kids. Label your feelings explain what made you feel that way. If you have negative emotions, talk about what would help you to feel better.
3. If a conflict arises, ask your child to think about how the other person might be feeling.
