Empathy Posters

A friend of mine (who is a much better photographer than I) made beautiful empathy posters of her daughter. The purpose of these posters is so children recognize facial expressions and relate them to what they're feeling. I know my boys may be too old for this type of exercise but they seem to be arguing a lot lately so I decided to do this as a family activity (aka Family Home Evening). My hope is that each of them will recognize each others' different moods better, therefore creating understanding and empathy.



Taking photos that don't all look the same proved difficult therefore their journey to becoming Canada's next top model ended here.
