For the Birds

When Peppa Pig is feeling hungry, she loves to eat ice lollies. Blue loves to eat crackers and apples! 

What do YOU like to eat when you feel hungry? Everyone loves a snack, even the birds in the park.

Helping to take care of living things, like feeding birds in the park, helps children to develop skills that will lead to empathy — like learning how their actions affect others and imagining how others feel.

Parent/Caregiver Tip: One of the best ways to teach your child empathy is for YOU to show empathy towards THEM. Acknowledging their big feelings and helping them to manage their emotions has the added benefit of teaching them how it feels to be accepted and understood.
