Although a great deal of attention has been focused on the lack of academic excellence in education, perhaps a more serious crisis is in the area of pro-social development.

Indeed, educators are concerned about how children develop the capacity to care for other individuals and how adults can foster nurturant, prosocial feelings and helping behavior. Social sensitivity is a basic process underlying effective human interaction. For many years educators have observed that young children are primarily egocentric and therefore unable to perceive human feelings different from their own. Many educators believe that children can be taught to care about others and to be more prosocial beings. Zahn-Waxler, Radke-Yarrow
