Parental empathy is the single most important characteristic in the promoting healthy, caring children, and consequently in preventing child maltreatment. The word empathy comes from the Greek word “empatheia” which means “feeling into; to be in close union with another.” Research has identified the important role empathy has in parent-child bonding and attachment in the development of safe, stable and nurturing relationships. Having an empathic relationship with the child propels parents to seek alternatives to hitting, yelling and belittling as forms of discipline, as well as having appropriate developmental expectations, two parenting patterns that contribute to child maltreatment.
Learn about empathy and ways to build parent-child empathic relationships.
