Kindness is not a personality trait; it is a skill that can be cultivated. At CityPrep, we believe the deliberate cultivation of empathy has never been more urgent in our post-pandemic world.
While humans are born with the capacity for empathy, its development is influenced by environment and modeling. For more on fostering positive environments, see our guide on fostering independence. This is also a core component of digital citizenship.
Exercises like the “Perspective Swap” and “The Listening Experiment” move the needle. You can find more resources on the Greater Good Science Center website. These activities help students manage senioritis by building community.
