Teaching Kids Compassion | Author Shayna Dorvilier on 'I Can't Help That
‘I Can’t Help That’, by Shayna Dorvilier, invites young readers into a beautifully illustrated classroom filled with honesty, heart, and the voices of children who are learning to see one another through the eyes of compassion.
Each page introduces a child who bravely shares something about themselves they can’t control, whether it’s a medical condition, cultural background, family structure, disability, or learning difference. From anxiety to adoption or visible differences to invisible struggles, this powerful story gives voice to the unspoken feelings many children carry every day. Through gentle storytelling and realistic illustrations, readers watch the characters transform from feeling isolated to being embraced. This book not only builds empathy and emotional intelligence, but also opens the door for important conversations about inclusion, kindness, and celebrating what makes each of us unique.
Hopefully after watching this episode you will understand for yourself that ‘I Can’t Help That’ is a gentle reminder that although we can’t control everything about ourselves, what we can control is how we treat others!
