Lately, we noticed that Sophie would show empathy and compassion towards anyone in distress, especially if the person is crying or in pain. For instance, we could often hear our neighbour’s baby cry in the day, she would respond by making a sad face and say, “baby cry…sad” and “help”. And if we appeared sad to her, she would come console us with a hug, a kiss or a gentle caress.
Today, Papa used a piece of wet tissue (after wiping Sophie’s mouth) as a “puppet” and pretended to be sad. Watch how Sophie made a sad face and attempted to console the piece of wet tissue (Papa’s arm). I am so amazed that she is able to show empathy and compassion at such a young age. Maybe she was just mimicking how we respond to her when she was upset, but nevertheless, I am so so very proud of her.
