This is a beautifully animated video acting out a well articulated section of Dr Brené Brown’s lecture on the difference between an empathetic and a sympathetic response. According to a different behaviouralist who works closely with teachers and schools, if someone presents you an issue, but it is not your responsibility to solve, respond empathetically. For example, students might complain; I hate this subject! I refuse to do my homework, Im too tired/hungry to concentrate, Another student keeps taking my things!, or in the staff room, you might hear; My next class is a nightmare!. The goal is to lower emotions by being empathetic, and then enable them to take responsibility and solve it themselves. Sometimes, students (and fellow teachers) just want to be heard. This is also an interesting read; theaustralian.au/national-affairs/in-depth/school-of-thought-on-tackling-bad-behaviour/story-fnealica-1226422028668?nk=24cb59f6f934d12e990e0d9ab50a19e8
