UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World

Bestselling author Michele Borba offers a 9-step program to help parents cultivate empathy in children, from birth to young adulthoodâ€”and explains why developing a healthy sense of empathy is a key predictor of which kids will thrive and succeed in the future.

Is the Selfie Syndrome Undermining Our Kidsâ€™ Future?

Teens today are 40 percent less empathetic than they were thirty years ago. Why is a lack of empathyâ€”which goes hand-in-hand with the self-absorption epidemic Dr. Michele Borba calls the Selfie Syndromeâ€”so dangerous? First, it hurts kidsâ€™ academic performance and leads to bullying behaviors. Also, it correlates with more cheating and less resilience. And once children grow up, a lack of empathy hampers their ability to collaborate, innovate, and problem-solveâ€”all must-have skills for the global economy.

In UnSelfie Dr. Borba pinpoints the forces causing the empathy crisis and shares a revolutionary, researched-based, 9-step plan for reversing it. Readers will learn:

-Why discipline approaches like spanking, yelling, and even time-out can squelch empathy

-How lavish praise inflates kidsâ€™ egos and keeps them locked in â€œselfieâ€ mode

-Why reading makes kids smarter and kinder

-How to help kids be Upstandersâ€”not bystandersâ€”in the face of bullying

-Why self-control is a better predictor of wealth, health, and happiness than grades or IQ

-Why the right mix of structured extracurricular activities and free play is key for teaching collaboration

-How to ignite a Kindness Revolution in your kids and community

The good news? Empathy is a trait that can be taught and nurtured. Dr. Borba offers a framework for parenting that yields the results we all want: successful, happy kids who also are kind, moral, courageous, and resilient. UnSelfie is a blueprint for parents and educators who want to kids shift their focus from I, me, and mineâ€¦to we, us, and ours.
