"Friendships are the single best predictor of a child's happiness as they grow up," claims Dr. John Medina, writing in Brain World (Winter 2011). Medina advises parents...
"When faced with a strong emotion from your spouse or your children, turn to empathy first.
"By learning how to empathize with your partner as well as your children, you will teach your toddler and preschooler, through example, how to empathize with others around them. Children who learn to step outside of themselves in order to understand another person's feelings are better able to control their own impulses, thus leading to higher SAT scores years down the road. And children who are able to empathize with playmates make better friends."
