A new study of nearly 4,000 school children has found that youngsters who feel they have empathic support from their parents and caregivers are verging away from a wide range of delinquent behavior, such as committing crimes.
Published in the peer-reviewed
Journal of Moral Education, the research, which drew on data surveying children over a four year period from when they were aged 12 to 17, also shows that those who received empathy were less likely to execute acts of serious delinquent behavior, compared to those who simply felt they had supportive parents.
In addition, the new findings - out today - demonstrate that parents/caregivers who display greater empathy enhance their teenagers own development of empathy, or the ability to acknowledge and understand the feelings of others.
RECENTLY, I was asked to write about the development of Malaysia’s Moral Education as a subject by the officer in charge of Moral Education in Japan’s Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry.
While it was an honour, it was also very challenging because the last I wrote about the subject’s development was in 2010, in an international journal called the Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education.
It has been 11 years, and since then, much improvement has been explicitly seen in its development in Malaysia.
Universiti Malaya was the pioneer in bringing in Moral Education as a minor programme for students undergoing its Teaching of English as a Second Language (TESL) programme.

The last Grade 7 examination class wrote Mathematics, Agriculture, English, Indigenous Language and General Paper. Zimsec public relations manager Mrs Nicky Dhlamini said: “Yes the structure is a true reflection of Zimsec exams. This is in line with the new curriculum.
