The Basic Premise That Children Must Learn About Emotions Is That All Feelings Are Okay To Have; However, Only Some Reactions Are Okay.

The Act Of Compassion Begins With Full Attention, Just As Rapport Does. You Have To Really See The Person. If You See The Person, Then Naturally, Empathy Arises. If You Tune Into The Other Person, You Feel With Them. If Empathy Arises, And If That Person Is In Dire Need, Then Empathic Concern Can Come. You Want To Help Them, And Then That Begins A Compassionate Act. So I'd Say That Compassion Begins With Attention.

Our Brain Comes Hard-wired With An Urge To Play, One That Hurls Us Into Sociability. A Child's Play Both Demands And Creates Its Own Safe Space, One In Which She Can Confront Threats, Fears, And Dangers, But Always Come Through Whole. Play Offers A Child A Natural Way To Manage Feared Separations Or Abandonment, Rendering Them Instead Opportunities For Mastery And Self-discovery.
