We reviewed concepts of empathy and perspective and then talked about the risks of making assumptions (making a decision about a person or situation w/out all the facts)
Tonight, have your teen describe a way in which they tried perspective-taking during the day. Did you make assumption? Then, describe a way that you use perspective taking with your family or how assumption have made perspective taking more challenging.
EXAMPLE for perspective taking: "Today, I tried to understand Jimmy's perspective when he wasn't working, by asking him questions. Sometimes, he was tired or he didn't know where to work."
NON-EXAMPLE for perspective-taking (making an assumption): "I knew that John wasn't working because he is lazy." What could you do to get more facts.
