Emphatic listening means connecting to the clients on a deeper level. Based on trainings I've attended, emphatic listening can be seen in body movements/ posture, active listening, etc. In our activity, we make sure that we practice active listening and synthesis after the session if the children understand the activity, or what are there thoughts about the activity with this we provide a safe space for the children to speak their mind and feel that their opinion/s is valid and heard.
