FCV041 audio: The Empathy Way — Guest: Anne Paris

There are times when it is very difficult to empathize with another person. Those times include feeling frustrated with our children. But difficult as those situations may be for parents, clinical psychologist Anne Paris suggests we would do well to "step back, take a break, ask someone else to intervene..." because that's the best way to get our emotions under control so that we can, afterwards, model an empathetic response. That's how we teach our kids to do the same. Annie talks with Anne about the empathy response and about The Empathy Way, Dr. Paris' delightful new series of children's books which features the remarkable wildlife photography of Marian Brickner.
