Teach Your Children Perspective
Today I saw this wonderfully thought-provoking video from Indian artist Raghava KK. It’s about the importance of teaching children about different perspectives, which he has brought to life through a new iPad book. It’s under 5 mins and well worth a watch.

Great video! Perspective taking is a crucial skill needed to survive in a social world. The inability to perspective take is most clearly demonstrated in children with autism. Luckily, perspective taking is a skill that can be taught to kids with autism (see Darin Cairns).
For those luckily enough to develop perspective taking skills without explicit instruction, perspective taking can provide powerful information to guide decision making and social interactions. Of course you need to remember to do it… encouraging kids to perspective take in social interactions early in life develops a life habit that will make them more resilient in social conflicts.
