How do I explain empathy to a 6 year old?

Empathy means imagining how someone else feels and caring about it. Sesame Street's version is simple: you know how it hurts when you stub your toe, so you can understand a friend who does the same. Then ask: what could you do to help?

Which videos are for grown-ups?

The last two, from PBS KIDS for Parents, show how Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Alma's Way model empathy at school and at home. They are made for parents and carers. The rest of the playlist is for children in grades 1–2 (ages 6–8).
