Speaking with empathy: better ways to connect
This should be easy for you.” “It’s challenging, but I believe in you.”
“You’re fine. Stop crying.” “Would you like to talk about what’s upsetting you?”
“Be quiet!” “Let’s use softer voices, please.” “I already told you this.” “Let’s take another look at this together.” “What do you need now?” “I’m here if you’d like some support.”
“We don’t talk like that.” “Let’s speak to each other with kindness.”
