ABSTRACT
Let me interject another central learning I have come to under
stand related to empathy: The more I allow the child to teach
me, the less I find myself wanting to "fix things." Allowing
myself to be taught seems to take the
burden off me to get children where I
would like them to go. As I listen to and observe chil
dren teaching me, I seem much more content to just be
myself and let children be themselves.
