In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will explore four empathetic questions, how they’re helpful, and examples of when to use them.

1. "What do you think would make you feel better?"
2. "What was the hardest part for you?"
3. "Is there something you'd like to talk about?"
4. "What do you need right now?"

Asking empathetic questions is like giving children and teens a map to navigate their emotions. You provide them with guidance, but they learn to choose the path that helps them move forward, building self-confidence and emotional intelligence. In this journey, your connection strengthens as you walk beside them, offering understanding and support.
