Empathy is a set of skills that has to be learnt. There are 3 types of empathy
involved in the skill of repair:
Some children will be better at these skills because
they have observed, experienced and been taught
them at home and within their community. ▪ Cognitive Empathy
Other children won’t have been so lucky, and their ▪ Emotional Empathy
skills will still be weak.
▪ Compassionate Empathy
They may need extra help to catch up with these
skills.
A child may have difficulties in one
or more of these skills.
Their skills will not magically appear
– they will need support and
practice to improve.
