Is something wrong with your baby? – Amen Clinics

This came from a blog that I subscribe to. I also reviewed this same information at a conference I attended in Coeur d'Alene. The Key-note speaker talked about Emotional Attachment Theory.

Empathy, or Lack Of

This past week I have been very disturbed by some of the Headlines in the news. What is happening to our children to make them become so insensitive to their peers? I
am talking about the issues of bullying, particularly cyber-bullying. I am appalled at how mean our youth can be to others through cell phones and social networks.

It is lack of empathy.

Empathy involves seeing the world through another's eyes, thinking about things as others think about them, feeling things as others feel them, and sharing in their experiences.

I hope that we can show empathy ourselves and help to teach others, young or old how to have empathy.
