Part 1: Games and Activities to work on Perspective Taking

Calm & Connected Podcast Episode 36

What is perspective taking? It’s the ability to take another person’s point of view. This is a building block towards empathy. There are lots of different teachable moments that can happen in day to day life where you can talk about different perspectives people have on the same situation. There are also several games and activities you can play with children and teens to help them practice the art of walking in someone else’s shoes.

Over the next several podcasts, I’m going to be highlighting different games and activities that do this. Watch Part 1 here!
