My son was doing some stuff about emapthy at the same time as you. I sent him the link and he posted this on his blog site.

Ironically, I feel no empathy for my kids when my kids are in the playground fighting with each other and both of them start crying and blaming each other for who struck the first blow. Of course, quite often the fighting started with one of the kids being sarcastic and ironic to the other one, and the see-saw of verbal nonsense ensues till physical contact in engaged.
