Empathy in Storytelling

[edit]

The process of developing empathy in an individual starts at a young age. Children are more are more susceptible to wanting to learn if the individual who is presenting the information to them uses expression in their stories. Children who are more engaged in the story become more empathetic by understanding how a character feels in a situation. [1] The cognitive ability of a child also improves and they become more literate.[2] Another study also state that the children become more social and the story causes children to look beyond the here and now. Storytelling increases the dialogue with the parent and child, increasing the bonds between the child and parent. [3] [4] Creating a connection with the characters and how they feel allows children to connnect with other individuals around them, thus making them more susceptible to their environment.
