The series: In order for children to secure a healthy social life based on effective relationships, they must cultivate empathy, the ability to put themselves in others' shoes, to understand and feel things in the same way another person experiences them.

Through the proposed approach for parents and educators, they attempt to introduce children to see the world through others' eyes, after first learning to recognize and manage their own emotions.
