What is empathy and compassion? How do we foster it with our children, our families and others? How do we learn to be compassionate to ourselves too?

We share our knowledge and opinions while we explore this topic from the point of view of our own life experiences as both parents and educators. We talk about the importance of self-compassion as a means to learning to be compassionate with others. 

In the last 12 minutes of this episode, Karen facilitates a guided meditation with her soothing voice called "Loving Kindness". It is a beautiful meditation for anyone and everyone! Give it a try! Even if you have never meditated before! It is so relaxing that we recommend you listen to it right before bedtime. You can even try it with your kids!

Susie is a mom and an educator/daycare owner working with young children and Karen is a mom and spiritual life coach working with teens and adults.
