Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Our culture in general is becoming more self-centered. Kids are taught that hard work will lead to success and happiness. This author argues that those ideas are leading to selfishness, not happiness. Instead of praising our kids so much for their intellect and talents, we should be praising them each time they put the needs of others before their own. There lies the secret to happiness. My only disappointment with the book is that it's really for parents of younger kids. You need to start teaching empathy early because once you realize you've raised a narcissist it's pretty darn hard to reverse. Tips and ideas in the book are best suited for younger families. A follow-up book directed specifically at getting teens off their phones and out into the world to do good, would be awesome. The author makes some strong points on the value of empathy. She overemphasizes the value of this ability to the point of criticism of other valuable abilities. I hope to improve this area but not exclusively to focus on empathy. The focus of the book is on development of empathy in children. Michele provides ideas on how accomplish this be various interactions. I mildly recommend this book. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Bestselling author Michele Borba offers a 9-step program to help parents cultivate empathy in children, from birth to young adulthood--and explains why developing a healthy sense of empathy is a key predictor of which kids will thrive and succeed in the future. In our hyper-connected, social-media-saturated society, many of us (especially young people) are so obsessed with snapping "selfies" and living a virtual life online that we're forgetting how to care for the people right in front of us IRL (that's "in real life"). The resulting Selfie Syndrome is leading to an empathy crisis among today's youth--teens today are forty percent less empathetic than they were just a generation ago, and narcissism has increased fifty-eight percent during that same period. But there is a solution: studies show that the antidote to Selfie Syndrome is empathy. And the good news is that empathy can actually be cultivated in children, starting even before they can talk. In UnSelfie, esteemed educator Dr. Michele Borba presents new and compelling research that explains how to impart this key skill to kids--whether it's teaching toddlers how to comfort one another or giving teens the tools to stand up to bullying--and why empathy paves the way for future happiness and success. Caring about others isn't just about playing nice; it's a skill that's vital for children's mental health, leadership skills, and continued well-being, today and tomorrow. Dr. Borba's 9-step plan for raising successful, happy kids who also are kind, moral, courageous, and resilient provides a revolutionary new framework for learning empathy. Empathetic kids will thrive in the future, but the seeds of success can be planted today--one habit at a time"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

I was at the end of the school year when I read this so I was unable to try some of the activities mentioned in the book, but I would like to go back and perhaps build some of them into my lessons for next year. Some of the activities seem too young for a teen audience and even border on ridiculous but there seems to be a method to the madness. There are a few parts I would skip over and I don't think I would venture to have my entire class work through this book or even have an entire department let alone the school site work through it. Once I've tried it out, I'll be able to better inform on how it models in the classroom and what benefits can be derived. Simply reading the book has helped me to point out aspects from my classroom experience that would benefit me.
The author even has discussion notes for parents and educators available for download on their website.
This book looks at ways for children to learn and practice empathy in their lives which Borba (the author) feels is lacking. The book begins by saying teens are 40% less empathetic than they used to be and continues to discuss potential reasons why; spoiler: social media plays a part, naturally.
There will be some who will not like this book because it asks them to do uncomfortable emotional digging in themselves and then ask others to do the same but [hopefully] the result will be seeing more empathy in yourself and those who you teach.
