Why is empathy so critical in developing in our youth? Cultivating empathy? That might sound strange if you think of empathy as an innate, fixed trait — a talent that some people are born with, and others lack. But empathy isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition. It isn’t something that unfolds automatically, in every situation. It isn’t even a single ability or skill. Join us at Collective for Youth to learn more about empathy and why it is so important in a child’s relationship with the rest of the world.
