We have been having problems lately with our oldest child and the concepts of empathy and caring for others. His behavior is often very selfish, with little thought of how it impacts others. To understand empathy and the 7-year-old mind, you need to understand what true empathy means. For a 7-year-old to understand the feelings of another person, he needs to understand his own feelings. Day in and day out, work on making genuine eye contact with your oldest son.
