Chapter 4 EMPATHY
(A) MANAGING EMOTIONS
Dear
Students, emotions are very important in our lives, such as love, pain, pity,
anger, hatred and fear. In fact no feeling is bad but the expression of feelings
can be good or bad. Learning what is meant by the expression of feelings, where
and how to express them, is all this highly required to live a balanced and
meaningful life. For example, laughter is a very good expression, but if we
laugh when we see someone's pain, then this expression becomes wrong
expression.
It
is better to laugh with others than to laugh at them.
Let's recognize the expression of
feelings
LAUGH DOUBT ANGER
CRY FEAR SURPRISE
LOVE REGRET
Recognizing, understanding, accepting, controlling and
expressing emotions is very important for us. Let us learn this skill from

Dear
students as you might have noticed that we can understand the anxiety of a
newly married girl who is leaving her parent's home, only by putting ourselves
in her condition. That skill is related with 'unconditional positive regard
".This quality makes us socially sensitive. It leads to Empathy.
(B) SOCIAL VALUES AND
INTERACTIONS
Our
society is known as a civilized society on the basis of some values. These
values are justice, respect, honesty, empathy, responsibility, healthy
relations with family and community. You have already been studied a lot about
them in the previous lessons. You yourself in your life, must have realized
that there is a great importance of sharing, cooperation, symphony and unity.

rituals and folk dances of the different states of India. There will be a quiz
contest also. You may bring some pictures of rich culture and heritage of our
different states and U.T.s so that they can be pasted on the map of our
country.
(C) UNITY IN DIVERSITY
The
entire creation and the world is full of diversity. Every animal, bird, every
plant, every creature is unique. Even one leaf of a tree is not like another.
In society we see a lot of differences in language, dress, color, occupation,
customs and culture. Indian culture also speaks of unity in diversity. Even
though we are full of diversity, we are united with the thread of patriotism
and unity. Our joys and sorrows are share. We live in a world. Let us now share
the information gathered about various heritage, cultural, differences in the
context of India, in the form of quiz.
ACTIVITY Each
child will write the answer on their own worksheet. Instead of considering one
student as the winner, the winning team will be declared by adding the scores
of two students sitting on the bench.

(D) HELPING THE NEEDY
It
is good to be important, but it is more important to be good.
Tt
is good to help someone, especially who needs our help, it is more important
that the assistance we provide should be beneficial indeed.
Helen
was a woman who was Divyiang (deaf and hard of hearing). Who received the degree
of Graduation. She set an example for the people with special needs. In Miss Beam’s
school, students were made to understand and realize the special needs of
handicapped. The students were used to observe a deaf day. Dumb day etc. so that
empathy can be inculcated in them for Divyang people. Today's our three
activity are based on that action, only:
Material required for the activity:
Some handkerchieves or bandages.
Process
Students
will be divided into 3 groups, to get acquainted with the problems of Diwyang people
with special needs. Members of a group will also be blindfolded.they will not
be able to see during this activity.
The
children of the other group will be asked to wear mask or tie bandage on their
mouth so that they can't speak.
The
two legs of a group mates will be tied with a rope so that they cannot walk
without each other's support. Now the spirit of helping each other will also be
inculcated automatically.
