Did you know that there are ways to understand how other people think and feel? That's called empathy, and it is a skill you can learn!

Empathy helps you get along with other people — your family, your friends, your teammates — everyone you know!

Packed with exercises, pointers, and fun activities, this book will help you:

• See different points of view
• Understand that everyone shows their feelings differently
• Pay attention to your feelings
• Look for clues about what others are feeling
• Learn the connection between thoughts and feelings
• Brainstorm about why other people feel the way they do

Learning to Be Kind and Understand Differences also includes a note and resources for parents. When you build your empathy skills you will get along better with other people — and feel good about yourself, too!
