Our focus is on the long-term consequences of inadequate care of very young children. Our objective is to change those things in society that make it difficult for parents to give their children the care they need to grow into compassionate, empathic and trusting adults.

What is Empathic Parenting?

Being willing and able to put yourself in your child's shoes in order to correctly identify his/her feelings, and

Being willing and able to behave toward your child in ways which take those feelings into account.

Empathic Parenting is the name of the quarterly print journal published by the CSPCC from 1978 to 2003.
