How Babies Learn Empathy

When your baby hears another baby cry, they may pause or even cry too.
That is not just coincidence, it is empathy in its earliest form.
Babies begin to sense emotions in others long before they can express their own clearly.
When you comfort them, you are teaching them what empathy feels like, that care follows distress and that love responds to need.
Over time your reactions become their emotional template. They learn that kindness is natural and that caring is safe.
You are not just raising a child, you are teaching a human how to love.
