This worksheet asks you to think about how people learn to understand and share the feelings of others (empathy) in different parts of their lives. Since everyone’s life is a little different, there is no single "correct" answer, but here are some common examples to help you fill in the blanks.
Step-by-Step Guide to Filling Out the Worksheet
1. Top Center Box (The Airplane/Travel)
*
Context: The picture shows a family on an airplane. This represents meeting new people or being in new places away from home.

Idea to write: When we travel, we meet people who might speak different languages or have different customs. Learning to be patient with them and understanding that they do things differently helps us develop empathy.
*
Sample Answer: *Meeting new people from different cultures and learning to respect their differences.*
2. Left Box: At SCHOOL & with FRIENDS
*
Context: This is where you spend most of your day interacting with peers.
*
Idea to write: Think about times when a friend was sad because they lost a game or forgot their lunch. How did you react? Or, think about group projects where you have to listen to other ideas.

Sample Answer: *Learning to take turns, sharing supplies, and comforting a friend who is hurt or sad.*
3. Middle Box: In your COMMUNITY
*
Context: This refers to your neighborhood, local parks, stores, or community centers.
*
Idea to write: This involves seeing how neighbors help each other. Maybe you see someone holding the door for a person carrying heavy bags, or volunteers picking up trash in the park.
*
Sample Answer: *Seeing neighbors help each other, volunteering at local events, or being polite to strangers in public places.*
4. Right Box: With other RELATIVES
*
Context: This includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
*
Idea to write: Relatives often tell stories about the past or have different rules than your parents. Listening to an older relative’s story helps you understand their life experiences.

Question: "At your age, what or who greatly influences your personality and relation with people?"
*
Idea to write: Think about who you copy the most. Is it your parents? Your best friend? A teacher? Or maybe characters in books or movies?
*
Sample Answer: *My parents influence me the most because I watch how they treat others. Also, my best friend influences me because we spend so much time together.*
