prosocial behavior (chap 6)

what is Prosocial behavior:

sharing, helping, and caring actions 

Socalizing pro-social childern:

adopt a mind-minded style- being alert to childerns upset feelings (wow! You must feel hurt, what can i do to help?) and pay attention to prosocial behavior and attribute these acts to the childs personality (this is incredible! You are a really caring person for doing that!).

Another way: induction- having childern who have behaved hurtfully empathize with the pain they’ve caused others (ex- daughter inviting people to birthday except one girl- how would you feel) 

Empath:

directly feeling another persons emotions  

Sympathy:  

more muted feelings we experience for another human being (i feel bad for homeless people) 

How do childern behave in a prosocial way?

childern must have the emotion regulation skills to translae their empathic feelings into a sympathetic response
