I plan to show this to my class on Friday. It's one of the better explanations of the differences between sympathy vs. empathy I've ever heard. Learning how to empathize with someone is such a huge and important life skill.
Toddlers and high schoolers (with whom I spend most of my time!) are not typically known for their extreme empathy abilities, so I enjoy coming along side them and trying to help them figure it out. Their husbands, wives, moms, dads, children, friends and coworkers will appreciate it one day.
Anyway, enjoy:
