This week we talk to Dr. Michele Borba, a former teacher and author of several books, including “Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in our All-About-Me World,” about the importance of empathy and why it is a learned trait. She was brought to Sarasota to speak to parents and caregivers about her book as part of Forty Carrots Family Center’s speaker series.
