Wendy Turner, M.Ed. @mrswendymturner.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Empathy is the secret sauce that makes everything better! A big part of your Adult SEL skill set is the ability to practice empathy. I believe empathy is curious, connected, and active. If we imagine how someone feels but don't act on it, the empathy is symbolic only. #sel #empathy 010
