Teach children to care for and support each other during stressful times.�This step speaks for itself. If a child says 菟ﾟlease can I have my toy back�you teach the children to be respectful and actually giving it back. The child is asking politely, and should be rewarded by his peer by getting the possession back; he is done sharing for now.

Empathy is a crucial skill parents and parent figures must teach children at a young age. It is hard to develop, as shown in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird shows the reader several main themes: prejudice, empathy, courage, racism, etc. It is about 2 children, Scout (the narrator), and Jem Finch, and their struggles with racism and how they cope with it as they mature.. In to Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee revealed that empathy is a learned trait, and it is hard to rid old ways.
It is part of the introduction; readers learn about the narrator’s special power in the previous paragraph (p. 2) when he says, “…because I got the touch. It’s a thing you got to be born with”. Then it is in the first sentence of the third paragraph that readers become aware that he “couldn’t do the touch for Grandpa”. The narrator’s ability to heal others with his ‘touch’ didn’t work for his own Grandpa. Initially, Lipshaw did not want to put the touch on his Grandpa, but did it out of respect for his Grandma “soon after he began stepping out” (p. 8).
After Atticus comes home later that day, he teaches her a lesson about empathy. “’You can never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-‘ … ‘-until you climb into his skin and crawl around in it’” (Lee 39). Atticus is showing Scout how to empathize with Miss Caroline, and observe things from her point of view. Scout then understands that since Miss Caroline is new to Maycomb, she does not know about the Cunninghams and the Ewells, and it was an honest mistake from her side. Also, looking at the events that happened throughout the day, Atticus helps her see that it also must be frustrating for Miss Caroline, especially dealing with Burris Ewell using the most profane language known to man, proving that his ability to empathize makes him an influential role model as Scout becomes older.
The first is courage. Jem's view of courage is defined by childish acts. For example, Atticus makes the Radley house off limits to Jem and Scout, but one night, Jem ignores his father's rule and touches the front door of the Radley place and then hurries home. While running, Jem's pants get caught in the fence so he must go back to get them. However, as Jem returns to the fence, he demonstrates courage by going back to such a dangerous place to avoid disappointing his father.
Heithcliff is a character whom readers find repulsive and yet at the same time fascinating. His actions confuse the reader’s opinion about him. Throughout the novel Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Bronte, his character’s behavior varies due to the actions taken by himself and the people around him. In some ways, Heithcliff was proven to be fascinating. Towards the beginning of the novel in his childhood, it was noticed that he would never cry.

He did not speak for a moment.” The characteristic of humility is an important thing to have as a parent and as a role model. Nevertheless, Atticus does present himself overall as a highly moral parent. Lee uses him as a vehicle to present her ‘mockingbird’ metaphor with the message that we need to protect innocence and those vulnerable. Both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are likened to mockingbirds, with Tom’s death described as, “the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children.” The extended metaphor across the book allows both the reader and Scout to learn the need for equality and reveals the consequences of prejudice and racism. .
The readers see both sides; however everyone else only sees one side of her including her husband Torvald Helmer. Torvald treats her like a trophy wife. He has put her up on a pedastal and is very comfortable keeping her there, and feels she is as well. Torvald has this theory of all women, not just Nora. He feels the wives are the ones to take care of the children and that children listen to mothers more.
