A new TikTok trend, the “cookie challenge,” tests kids’ empathy by giving them two cookies while parents have none, to see if they’ll share. While some children do, others don’t—and experts warn this doesn’t truly measure empathy, which develops through long-term guidance and example.
How do you think your child would do?
